What electives are frequently offered in high school?
When looking at elective classes they are just what they are called, electives. Students can elect to go out and explore other opportunities. These can be on campus as well as off campus. If a student has a job they can actually get work experience credits. If a student does community service, they can get elective credits for that. But also, in the high school setting, we use elective classes if a student is deficient or behind. So a lot of times schools will offer on campus electives for things like California High School Exit Exam prep classes. If a student just doesn't have a lot of basic skills we may offer them elective courses to assure them general passage of that exam but also to sure up skills that they may be missing. They can also choose to take elective classes that expand their foreign language development as well as their fine arts. If they are interested in arts, crafts, making tools, different things like that. Also, with their elective classes they can come after school or they can done on campus so again the whole idea behind elective classes that students can choose to bring in additional credits.
