Week-at-a-glance: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35

This is J's 12th grade school schedule for 2010-2011, based on Ambleside Online's Year 11 Lite, but lightened even further to accomodate a senior's busy schedule and possibly a part-time job. J is doing Pimsleur Russian (an audio program) and Jacob's Geometry. J only needs credits in math, science and US Government to graduate. He also needs focus on essay writing.
