World Classics H is a single-semester English course taken by juniors and seniors. All juniors must take a default English course and an English elective; World Classics H is one of the default courses, offered in alternate years. Students can choose between the course and the college prep version, [[World Literature]]. Every other year, [[American Classics H]] and [[American Literature]] are offered instead of the World Classics/Literature courses. Seniors have the same choice of English courses, but the yearlong [[AP English Literature and Composition|AP Literature and Composition]] is also open to seniors, so some choose to take that instead.
