What English courses in high school are most beneficial?

Hi everyone, I'm finalizing my schedule and wondering which high school English courses have been most helpful for you, especially if you're a humanities major or just really into literature?

Hey there! It's wonderful to hear you're tailoring your schedule to fit your interests in humanities and literature. I'd recommend taking a broad range of English classes to expose yourself to different genres and writing styles. AP Literature and Composition is often seen as a strong choice, as it offers an in-depth study of various literary works and critical analysis.

If offered, creative writing classes can also be fantastic for developing your own writing skills and exploring different narrative techniques. Additionally, if your school offers any specialized literature courses, like British Literature or World Literature, these can provide a great understanding of literary history and cultural contexts. Remember to also balance your course load with electives that pique your interest to keep your love for literature ignited. Enjoy your literary journey!
