Every state has different requirements for obtaining a high school diploma. And each school varies greatly in what type of classes they offer. There are, however, a number of classes that are available, and perhaps even mandatory, in most high schools.

The courses your teen takes will also vary depending on his plans beyond high school. Students who plan to go to college may be required to take more years of a foreign language. Or a student who plans to major in engineering may want to take more math and science classes to prepare for college.

Students in a vocational track may be able to gain some hands-on learning. Many of them are even able to gain certificates or licenses that will help them in their future careers.

It's important to talk to your teen about her aspirations. Help her explore various career options.

Also, talk about what courses she plans to take in high school. Discuss her interest areas and review her schedule together. In addition to the basic classes, there are usually plenty of opportunities for your teen to take electives in various areas of study.
