What to teach in Alabama

Courses that cover the core subjects

Alabama names no subjects, so nothing here is required of you. This is the sequence this site teaches, offered as a default rather than an obligation.

Mathematics

English

Science

Social studies

Each is planned as a 36-week year of about 180 sessions, five a week — the year 20 of the 21 course guides set out explicitly. How long a session runs is yours to set.

Does this meet the hours?

Church and private school: none set by state (set by the school). Private tutor: 3 hours/day, 140 days per calendar year, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Each course here plans a 36-week year of about 180 sessions, five a week — the year 20 of the 21 course guides set out explicitly. The length of a session is left to you, because a Grade 6 session and a Grade 12 one are not the same thing.

Four such courses run across the same 180-session year, so a four-course year meets Alabama's 140 days without any arithmetic: the days are the calendar, not a total to accumulate.

The four high school years

In most states the parent issues the diploma and writes the transcript, which makes the four-year plan the record — there is no school registrar keeping one for you. A full sequence of these courses looks like this.

Four subjects across four years is 16 full-year courses. Credits, grades and the diploma itself are Alabama's business, not this site's — what Alabama says about diplomas and transcripts.
