Your post is a bit confusing. You say they need to repeat core classes they’ve already taken, but then you say they need to take a lot of electives?

Regarding electives, I expect they took some in grades 9 and 10, and would continue to take some in grades 11 and 12 anyhow. That’s not enough? It should be as much as anyone else has.

As far as the core classes go, math is covered, and there are lots of science and history APs. Can’t they just keep taking more of those to fill requirements? Must they really go back and take 9th grade history/bio/earth science instead of, say, AP Euro/APUSH/AP world/AP human geo, or AP Bio/APchem/APphysics1,2,C/APEnviro? For these core classes, they may not need to get credit. They just need to get placement. Substituting one course for another might be something they can petition for, especially considering the circumstances, and is probably easier than getting credit that is specifically prohibited. And if they finished one foreign language sequence already, can they pick up another one? There are also 2 English APs available–did they really already take these and what were they planning to do afterwards?

Our high school requirements aren’t always that specific about particular courses, more about years of study of each subject.
