Your Social Studies placement will be based on your Language Arts placement in 9th grade.
If you aspire to take AP courses in the future while a student at PHS, it is recommended that you enroll in the Honors or Pre-AP level.
It is easier to drop down a level than move up if you change levels during the school year.
Social Studies
World LanguagesNew Jersey requires one year of language for graduation.
Most 4 year colleges and universities require 2 consecutive years of the same language at the college prep level or higher.
Some colleges now prefer 3 years of a language.
We offer the following levels of both French and Spanish:
French 1 and Spanish 1 (General, CP, H)
French 2 and Spanish 2 (CP, H)
French 3 and Spanish 3 (CP, H)
AP French Language and AP Spanish Language
Assessments are aligned in both French and Spanish. Both have same grading system and similar assessments.
Have a plan in place before choosing. Try to choose a language that you have a genuine interest in and/or one that will benefit your future career path.
If you are not as successful the first year, you can try the other language the following year.
