Q1. In 10th grade there are School Required Courses, and Diverse Elective Courses for students. What classes are offered by the courses?

Q2. High school students used to select their academic discipline groups when they are advancing to 11th grade. Group I consist of liberal arts students, Group II of engineering, and Group III of medical science. Do students still get separated into their discipline groups?
Currently, all high school’s 3-year curriculum plans are set up based on college discipline clusters. Several similar academic discipline groups are combined to form a class group. For example, a class group consists of students aiming to study in finance and business management clusters, the class curriculum will be designed according to that goal. And for a class group consists of students aiming to study in engineering, mathematics and chemistry, and information clusters, their class curriculum will be designed according to that goal. Each schools have different names for the class groups, and class groups are adjusted according to each school’s strength. Course proposals are published on school websites. If you are interested, you’re more than welcome to review the proposals.
