I am in NY as well. Are your current classes honors classes for Global 2, English and French? Which level French? Is the English for next year AP Lang? Have you talked with the teachers for those classes?

Some of this varies by teacher and school but my daughter is in 11th grade and currently taking APUSH and AP Lang (along with AP Chem and Calc BC).
APUSH is similar in workload to APWH. Which seems to be more than Honors Global or honors USH, but not excessively. AP Lang is no more difficult for her than last year’s honors 10th grade English was. But kids in a different section of AP Lang, with a different teacher, do seem to feel it’s more difficult. She’s had a couple of essays that she has gotten an AP grade and a Regents grade (since they will be taking both exams this year, the teacher wanted them to have a better idea of grading for both) and got what would be 100 or close to it on a Regents scale, but closer to 85-90 on an AP scale. So the expectations are higher in AP Lang. She doesn’t tend to be overloaded with work for it though.
She is taking Spanish 4 with college credit, so I can’t help with the AP French issue. If she were to take an AP in language, that would be next year instead of Spanish 5.
