Enrolling ElectivesSample Electives

Electives
Elective courses are offered for the personal enrichment of the student or for the fulfillment of the student’s personal, academic, or vocational goals. In some cases, with the approval of CLASS, a student may select an elective to fulfill a requirement. In this case, the elective becomes subject to all of our policies concerning required courses, and must be completed accordingly.

Listed below are the electives offered by CLASS along with their respective credit values and costs. Note that academic credits are only awarded if a course is taken at the high school level. Electives taken in seventh and eighth grade do not receive academic credit.

Independent Bible
You may substitute your own Bible course for our standard Bible assignment provided your course meets the parameters of our Independent Bible Policy.

Note, however, that CLASS issues no academic credit for independent Bible courses. This may cause problems for high school students if additional courses must be taken to meet minimum credit requirements for graduation.

Contact our Customer Service Department if you have questions regarding this policy.

Driver Education
CLASS does not offer any driver education courses. However, some states allow you to take this course from your own home.

Check our Resource Library to determine whether any online or home study driver education courses are available for your state. You can also find links to each state’s DMV office here.

Health
CLASS does not offer any health courses. If you wish to pursue this subject, you will need to do so on a supplemental basis. Check our Resource Library for suppliers of health courses.

Foreign History
If you are a non-U.S. student, you are probably required to take your own nation’s history course in addition to those offered by CLASS. These materials must be purchased and completed on a supplemental basis. Once completed, we recommend you send us an official transcript showing the final grade and (if applicable) academic credit, which will be placed in your student’s cumulative records file.

If you are a Canadian student, our Resource Library lists suppliers of Canadian history materials.

State History
Christian Liberty does not offer individual state courses. To meet any requirements your state may have in this subject area, you will need to purchase and complete the appropriate materials on a supplemental basis. Once completed, we recommend you send us an official transcript showing the final grade and (if applicable) academic credit, which will be placed in your student’s cumulative records file.

Most states require a state history course sometime prior to graduation; check to see if the course is required at a specific grade level. You should be able to obtain this information, as well as what resources are available, through your local library.

You may also check our Resource Library for suppliers of state history courses.
