Portola High School 在官网的课程目录（Course Offerings）页面公布 2026-27 学年的全部课程，最近一次更新为 2026 年 3 月 11 日，共 163 门，每门课都列出先修条件、UC A-G 类别和预计每周课外时间。本页先说明选课规则，再列出完整的课程地图。规则部分是家长最容易出错的地方。
选课规则
| 课表结构 | 轮转 block 课表，8 节课制：周一 1 到 8 节全上（每节 45 分钟），其余四天为单双日 block（每节 80 分钟），并安排答疑时间（Office Hours）与每周三的 Advisement 小组 |
|---|---|
| 课程门数 | 9 到 10 年级修 6 门课：文学与语言、整合数学、整合科学、社会科学、体育，再加一门世界语言、视觉与表演艺术或其他选修课。每学期通常最多 6 门，学校辅导员明确说明 6 门足以满足毕业和 UC A-G 资格 |
| 第 7、8 门课 | 只有参加表演艺术、校队、学生会（ASB）、校报、影视制作、虚拟企业（Virtual Enterprise）、小企业管理 I/II、年鉴和视觉艺术项目的学生，才可以加修第 7、8 门课 |
| 教师推荐 | 数学、科学、世界语言的进阶课程需要满足课程目录列出的成绩、期末统考（EOC，课程结束统一测验）与教师推荐条件；社会科学的 AP 课程写明「强烈建议」写作成绩 B 以上且前一门社科课 A，或有教师推荐，但不是硬性门槛 |
| 降级与加退课 | 从 AP 或 Honors 降到普通班（CP）：秋季学期截止于第一学季最后一天 10 月 23 日，春季学期截止于第三学季进度报告日 2 月 19 日，成绩随学生转入新班。AP 人文地理（Human Geography）转到荣誉或普通美国历史（American History）只能在 9 月 15 日当天或之前办理。社会科学组另有说明：Honors 与 AP 课程开学后不接受退课，年课最多在学期末退出，且不保证有位置 |
| 选课流程 | 在校 9 到 11 年级学生按年级填写 Course Request Form，与辅导员修改选课的最后一天是 5 月 1 日。选课表要填写不排课时段（No Period 1 / 7 / 8）；体育项目不要自己填，由教练确认名单后辅导员加入 |
| 校外与双学分课程 | 尔湾谷社区学院（IVC）双学分有四类：校内或线上的 Dual Enrollment CCAP（高中与社区学院合作项目）免费、暑期 Summer College CCAP 免费、General Dual Enrollment 自付健康费与教材费、Early College CCAP 在 8 年级春季申请并承诺四年。校内可修 IVC Math 5 与 Math 10。另有 Coastline ROP（区域职业教育项目）的课后课程 |
| 课堂评估重考 | 各学科组自行规定课堂评估的重考次数：普通班 Math II 及以下每学期 2 次，荣誉、强化数学与 Math III 每学期 1 次，重考成绩最高可记满分 |
毕业要求（2027 届起 225 学分）
| 科目 | 学分 |
|---|---|
| English | 40 |
| Social Science（世界史 10 + 美国史 10 + 经济 5 + 政府 5） | 30 |
| Science（生命科学 5 + 地球或物理科学 5 + 再修一年 10） | 30 |
| Mathematics（须含 Math I、Math II） | 30 |
| Physical Education | 20 |
| VAPA / 世界语言 / CTE | 10 |
| Health | 5 |
| General Electives | 60 |
每门学期课 5 学分，最低及格成绩为 D-。毕业要求和大学申请要求是两套标准：毕业只需成绩达到 D-，而加州大学与加州州立大学的 UC A-G 课程要求成绩 C- 以上；毕业只需一年世界语言、视觉与表演艺术或职业技术课三选一，而 UC A-G 要求同一门外语修满两年、视觉与表演艺术单独修满一年。数学方面，毕业要求三年且必须包含 Math I 与 Math II，UC A-G 同样要求三年、建议四年。选课时应按 UC A-G 的标准安排。
各学科的课程层级
以下路径中，CP 指普通班（College Prep），Honors 指荣誉班，AP 指大学先修课。需要注意 Portola High School 的加权规则：9 到 10 年级的荣誉课程一律不加分，加权只给 AP 课程和 11 门标注加权的 Honors 选修课。
英语
- 9 年级：英语 1（English 1）或荣誉英语 1（English 1 Honors），后者需要初中教师推荐并通过 8 年级能力展示；两者都不加权
- 10 年级：英语 2（English 2）或荣誉英语 2（English 2 Honors），不加权
- 11 年级：英语 3（English 3）或 AP 英语文学（English Literature），加权
- 12 年级：英语 4 高年级文学与语言总结课程（Senior LLA Capstone）或 AP 英语语言（English Language），加权，限 12 年级
社会科学
- 9 年级：现代世界史（Modern World History），可获嵌入式荣誉标注，不加权
- 10 年级：美国历史（American History）、荣誉美国历史（American History Honors，2026-27 学年起不加权），或 AP 人文地理（Human Geography），后者是 10 年级唯一的 AP 选项
- 11 到 12 年级：AP 美国历史（US History）、AP 世界历史（World History）、AP 心理学（Psychology）、AP 经济（Economics，一门课准备宏观与微观两门考试）、AP 非裔美国人研究（African American Studies），以及一批学期选修课
- 12 年级：美国政府与政治经济（Passion Civics 项目），或 AP 美国政府（Government）与荣誉政治经济（Honors Political Economy），两者都加权
科学（普通序列）
- 9 年级：生命地球科学（Living Earth），可获嵌入式荣誉标注
- 10 年级：地球系统化学（Chemistry in the Earth System），可获嵌入式荣誉标注
- 11 年级：宇宙物理（Physics in the Universe）
- 12 年级：解剖与生理学（Anatomy & Physiology）、法医学（Forensics）、动物学与海洋生态（Zoology & Marine Ecology）等选修
科学（最高难度序列）
- 9 年级：生命地球科学荣誉标注（Living Earth Honors），无加权分
- 10 年级：地球系统化学荣誉标注（Chemistry in the Earth Honors），无加权分
- 11 年级：AP 物理 1（Physics 1），条件是同时修读 Math III 或更高课程并有教师推荐
- 12 年级：AP 物理 C（Physics C），一门课同时准备力学与电磁学两门考试，条件是同时修读微积分并且 AP 物理 1 成绩 C 以上；也可选 AP 生物（Biology）、AP 化学（Chemistry）、AP 环境科学（Environmental Science）
工程（PLTW 项目式工程课）
- 9 到 12 年级：工程设计导论（Introduction to Engineering Design）
- 10 到 12 年级：工程原理（Principles of Engineering）
- 11 到 12 年级：航空工程（Aerospace Engineering，2026-27 学年之后隔年开设）或数字电子（Digital Electronics）
- 12 年级：荣誉工程设计与开发（Honors Engineering Design & Development），加权
AP 科学课程的入学条件：
| 课程 | 入学条件 |
|---|---|
| AP 物理 1（Physics 1） | 同时修读 Math III 或更高课程，并有教师推荐；学校建议已修完 Math III，或 Math II 拿到 A 且化学荣誉标注为 A。11 年级没赶上的学生可以在 12 年级修 |
| AP 生物（Biology） | 地球系统化学与生命地球科学平均 B- 以上或经行政批准，已修完或同时修读宇宙物理或 AP 物理 1，并有教师推荐 |
| AP 化学（Chemistry） | 一整年的化学课及格并有教师推荐，已修完或同时修读宇宙物理或 AP 物理 1；学校建议化学成绩 3.0 以上 |
| AP 环境科学（Environmental Science） | 生命地球科学与化学及格，已修完或同时修读宇宙物理或 AP 物理 1，并有教师推荐 |
| AP 物理 C（Physics C） | 限 12 年级；同时修读微积分或更高课程，且 AP 物理 1 成绩 C 以上 |
科学课程有一条本校特有的规则：AP 生物（Biology）、AP 化学（Chemistry）、AP 环境科学（Environmental Science）都要求已修完或同时修读宇宙物理（Physics in the Universe）或 AP 物理 1（Physics 1），因此物理事实上成了所有高阶科学课的前置条件。另外，工程路径第二、三年的课程（含工程原理 Principles of Engineering）可以抵扣物理类的毕业学分。
数学课程另有一页说明：数学路径。世界语言共四种加线上课程：
- 中文（Chinese）1-3 + AP 中文（Chinese Language & Culture）
- 西班牙语（Spanish）1-3 + 荣誉西班牙语 4（Spanish 4 Honors）+ 荣誉西班牙语 5（Spanish 5 Honors）或 AP 西班牙语（Spanish Language）
- 法语（French）1-3 + AP 法语（French Language & Culture）
- 母语者西班牙语（Spanish for Spanish Speakers）1-2，以及医疗护理方向的进阶西班牙语 Preparate a Servir
- 韩语（Korean）1-2 只在尔湾联合学区的线上混合学习项目（Blended Learning）开设

常见问题
Portola High School 一个学期最多能修几门课？
Portola High School 采用 8 节课的轮转 block 课表，但学生每学期通常最多修 6 门。只有参加表演艺术、校队、学生会（ASB）、校报、影视制作、虚拟企业（Virtual Enterprise）、小企业管理 I/II、年鉴和视觉艺术项目的学生，才可以加修第 7、8 门课。Portola High School 的辅导员明确说明，6 门课足以满足毕业要求和 UC A-G 资格，只有在确实符合兴趣时才建议加第 7、8 门。
在 Portola High School，如果 AP 或 Honors 课程跟不上，什么时候可以降到普通班？
Portola High School 的降级截止时间比多数学校晚：秋季学期可以降到第一学季最后一天 10 月 23 日，春季学期到第三学季进度报告日 2 月 19 日，成绩随学生转入新班。但有两个例外需要注意：AP 人文地理（Human Geography）转回荣誉或普通美国历史（American History）只能在 9 月 15 日当天或之前办理；社会科学组另外说明，Honors 与 AP 课程开学后不接受退课，年课最多在学期末退出，且不保证有位置。
Portola High School 的 AP 英语文学和 AP 英语语言为什么和其他学校的年级相反？
这是 Portola High School 的课程安排特点。多数学校在 11 年级开 AP 英语语言（English Language）、12 年级开 AP 英语文学（English Literature），Portola High School 正好相反：11 年级开 AP 英语文学，12 年级开 AP 英语语言，且 AP 英语语言限 12 年级选修。家长在参考其他学校的选课经验时要注意这一差别，11 年级的英语课选择只有英语 3 和 AP 英语文学两种。
在尔湾联合学区，8 年级在初中修的强化数学 I 会出现在 Portola High School 的成绩单上吗？
不会。按尔湾联合学区的规定，8 年级修读的强化数学 I（Enhanced Math I）只作为先修条件，不计入高中学分，也不出现在 Portola High School 的成绩单上。它的作用是让学生在 9 年级直接进入强化数学 II（Enhanced Math II），从而比标准路径提前一年进入 AP 预备微积分（Precalculus）。
Portola High School 的选课在什么时候确定，之后还能改吗？
Portola High School 在每年 3 月中旬发布 Program & Course Information，包含各门 AP、Honors、CTE 与双学分课程的说明和视频；在校 9 到 11 年级学生按年级填写 Course Request Form，与辅导员修改选课的最后一天是 5 月 1 日。8 年级学生在 4 月下旬到初中现场选课。选课表上要填写不排课时段，体育项目不要自己填，由教练确认名单后辅导员加入。
