9th grader:

 

Math at PS or through AOPS

Science at PS or online

Spanish 2 at PS

World History I (of 2 years, modified Great Books study) - BJU plus lit

English - my plans including Ancient and Middle Ages lit

Computer Science (1/2 credit)

Logic

Band at PS, plus orchestra and clarinet and piano lessons

Health and phys ed (1/2 credit each)

Maybe 1/4 of Wheelock's for Latin, depending on how the schedule works out.

 

We are waiting to figure out the PS schedule. She will definitely go for Band and Spanish, and either Math or Science. PS classes wouldn't be my first choice academically, but she loves a classroom environment, and the kids seemed nicer than the homeschool co-op kiddos who picked on her for being different.

 

Since I posted, we've finalized the schedule, and it's in my signature. Latin lost out, and I'm not sure if we'll get to logic during the year or do it over the summer (she did it with older dd, but needs to go through again.)
