COLLEGE PREP CURRICULUM STRESSES THE HUMANITIES Seventy per cent of the students who graduated from Niles last year entered college in the fall. College planning begins in the freshman year with students deciding on a curriculum best suited to their goals and the college of their choice. The college preparatory curriculum requires three two-year sequences (mathematics, science, and a foreign language), one three-year sequence (social studies), and one four-year sequence (English). However, many students go further than the required number of years in the above sequences. For example, eighty-two per cent of the senior class are enrolled in a fourth year of English; thirty-three per cent are enrolled in chemistry. In the junior class, twenty-four per cent of the students are enrolled in physics, and thirty per cent are enrolled in advanced algebra. Thirty-three per cent of the students in both classes are taking a foreign language.
