Building a CAL/Home High School Schedule

How CAL's program works with your high school's program

The CAL program has been designed to work in conjunction with your home high school, so that you will be able to build a schedule that meets your high school's graduation requirements and prepares you for life after high school — whether you are going into the work force, an occupational training program, or college. The chart below, for example, outlines the course sequence for a student in the Medical/Health Sciences program:

Example:

Medical/Health Sciences: Required Courses
Grade 11		Grade 12
CAL Courses	Home HS Courses	CAL Courses	Home HS Courses
Navigating the World of Health Sciences	Social Studies	Clinical Lab Practice	Elective
Medical Calculations and Terminology	Elective	Clinical Experience	Elective
Chemistry (HS or ECO) (Science)	Elective	Anatomy and Physiology (Science)	Elective
Technology and Society (English)	Elective	College Composition: Health Sci. Focus (English)	Elective

Note that home high school English and Science requirements are met at CAL.

What your schedule will actually look like depends upon your interests and your post-high school plans. To get an idea of what your schedule might look like if you attend CAL, see the schedule below for a student who is planning to attend a four-year college after high school graduation:

Example:

Medical/Health Sciences: Sample Schedule
Grade 11		Grade 12
CAL Courses	Home HS Courses	CAL Courses	Home HS Courses
Navigating the World of Health Sciences	American Studies	Clinical Lab Practice	World History / Economics
Medical Calculations and Terminology	Pre-Calculus	Clinical Experience	Calculus
Chemistry (HS or ECO) (Science)	Spanish 5-6	Anatomy and Physiology (Science)	Spanish 7-8
Technology and Society (English)	Journalism 5-6	College Composition: Health Sci. Focus (English)	Journalism 7-8

You can look over CAL course requirements for Medical / Health Sciences, Information Technology (programming or web development), or Engineering / Advanced Manufacturing to help you plan your junior and senior year course schedules.
