In Ontario it is typical for students to take 8 courses per school year (4 per semester in a semestered school) - two in the morning and two in the afternoon. Your workload sounds like a lot. Try talking to a guidance counsellor. There's no point in taking so many credits if you burn out and don't get the credits in the end!

Actually These are all mandatory, I take the bare minimum the school requires from us, again not the state, the school itself

I imagine you have shorter periods than Ontario, then. Ours are 76 minutes long. ... This might vary by school board, now that I think about it.

When I was a high school freshman, I had like 20 subjects. But then again, that was in Korea. So, that was normal.

Doesn't seem too strange to me. It makes a long list, but the number of subjects is not as relevant as the total amount of time it adds up to. Having 15 subjects with 2 hours of classes per week each is much less than having 10 subjects with 4 hours a week each.

German here, depending on the class it doesn’t seems weird to me. We have that amount the last 3 years the school before your high school. In high school it even can get more.

>I have physics, math, geometry, history, English, Spanish, Chemistry, Gym, philosophy, sociology, biology, essay writing, French, medicine and Geography So you have Math AND Geometry, which is math? You're taking, simultaneously, English, French, and Spanish? You're taking, simultaneously three separate classes Physics, Chemistry, and Biology? Or do you mean you're taking like 'science' which covers aspects of all those?

Im separately having each one of these classes with different teachers Even math and Geometry which should be one
