Many parents wonder which classes their student should take first. Some classes should definitely be taken before others. Other classes can be taken at any time during a student's high school experience. Come to Meet the Tutor Night to listen to course descriptions and ask questions of the tutor. This enables parents to choose classes that are appropriate for their student.
