My son is in 8th grade, and my son and I meet next week with the school counselor to plan his high school schedule. He ask me about USAFA, I told him I don't know a lot about it, but I thought form what I have heard that it is a great program. The problem is, It is a huge school, so the counselor meet with about 15 at a time. It is hard for them to really put much thought into the kids. We are trying to do I little homework ahead of time.
Now he is in Chamber Orchestra. There is know way he can play soccer, Orchestra, and JROTC. They all will not fit into his schedule. So he will have to drop one of them. He said if he drops one he would like to drop Orchestra. Is that the best move, or does it really matter in the big picture?
He has already taken honors Algebra 1 this year that will count on his high school GPA.
Math would give him: They don't have Functional Analysis.

There are options, but that is what the counsular put down. I am sure we can change it if need be.

World History AP
US History AP
Government/Economics AP
Pro Communications, and Psycolagy
Spanish 1, and 2
JROTC all 4 years
Soccer all four years
Club soccer since he was 6. He will continue club soccer.
I told him it looks like a tough schedule, he said he can handle it. He could take classes in the summer if it would help. I know he is taking health this summer coming up. He could take Spanish 1, and 2 in the summer, if 4 years of Spanish would look better.
If anyone has any suggestions please let us know.
Thanks
