Orange County School of the Arts（以下简称 OCSA）的课程分三部分：学术课、选修课和艺术专业课。前两部分写在 2026-27 学年的课程手册（Academic Curriculum Handbook）里，第三部分由各艺术专业的主任安排。本页先说明选课规则和时间分配，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。
文化课与艺术课的时间怎么分
这一节回答一个具体问题：一名学生一年究竟能修几门课。
| 学术课表 | 学术课程采用隔日轮换的大块课表（Blue Day 上第 1、2、3 块，Gold Day 上第 4、5、6 块），每天上三块 85 分钟的学术课；艺术课是每周四天、每天两块 70 分钟的课（7 到 8 年级每天一块） |
|---|---|
| 周一至周四 | 周一至周四 8:30 至 16:45，其中 14:15 至 16:45 为两块艺术课 |
| 周五及无艺术课日 | 周五及无艺术课日 9:00 至 14:30，只上学术课 |
| 答疑时间 | 周一至周四 13:40 至 14:05 为答疑时间，周五 12:00 至 12:25 |
| 每天的课量 | 7 到 11 年级每天必须在校上三块学术或选修课，12 年级至少两块；艺术课在这些课之外另行安排 |
| 艺术专业学分 | 9 到 12 年级学生每学年必须完整参加所属专业的课程，每年 16 个艺术学分；专业内的核心课程为必修；学年中途不能转专业；学校不设双专业，跨专业选修课由专业主任酌情开放 |
把上面几条合起来看：一名 9 到 12 年级的学生每学年最多修六门学术或选修课，其中英语、数学、科学、社会科学、世界语言五门是刚性的，留给 AP 与自选课程的位置通常只有一门到两门。这就是为什么在这所学校，AP 的顺序比门数更重要。
选课规则
| 课程门数 | 7 到 11 年级每天必须在校上三块学术或选修课，12 年级至少两块；艺术专业课在这三块之外另行安排 |
|---|---|
| 艺术专业课 | 9 到 12 年级每学年必须修满 16 个艺术专业学分，并完整参加所属专业的课程 |
| 先修与豁免 | AP 与荣誉课程多数设有先修条件；不满足条件仍想选课的学生可以与辅导员面谈并填写 AP/Honors 课程豁免表 |
| 调整层级 | 从 AP 或荣誉课程降到普通班需要任课教师推荐并有空位，截止时间是学期第 6 周末（课程手册口径）；学生手册写的是教师提出降级建议的截止时间为第 7 周末。学期进行中的成绩可以随学生转入新班 |
| 改课受理范围 | 改课只在七种情况下受理：排课系统或人工错误、漏排毕业必修、未完成先修条件、班级人数平衡、总课表变动、分班错误、医疗需要。不接受因为教师偏好而改课 |
| 退课 | 前 6 周退课不留记录；第 7 到 12 周退课成绩单记 W，不影响 GPA；第 13 周之后退课记 W/F，按不及格计入 GPA |
| 第二学期 | 所有课程都是学年课，第二学期一般不受理改课，特殊情况须与辅导员面谈并经学校批准 |
| 校外课程 | 目前校外课程只在三种情况下获批，且都需要辅导员事先批准并填写校外课程批准表（External Course Approval Form）：补修不及格或成绩为 D 的毕业必修课，学分计入毕业要求并记在 OCSA 成绩单上；以申请制项目（新闻、学生会、年鉴、AP Capstone）或个别化教育计划、504 计划为由在校外修第二年体育课；已经修满本学科毕业要求后为拓展或加速而修的课程，必须是加州大学认证课程。但从 2029 届起，在 OCSA 之外修读的所有课程（包括大学课程）一律不计入毕业要求、不出现在 OCSA 成绩单上、不计入校内 GPA，学生只能在申请大学时把校外机构的成绩单与 OCSA 成绩单一并提交。用于加速的校外课程即使获批，也不保证能升入下一级课程，仍以空位为准 |
| 重修 | 已经以 C 及以上成绩通过的学术课程重修不再计学分 |
| 成绩申诉 | 对期末成绩有异议的，须在成绩公布后 15 天内以书面形式提交给辅导员和任课教师；只有任课教师能改分，且仅限文书或计算错误 |
毕业要求（240 学分）
| 科目 | 学分 |
|---|---|
| Literature and Composition（文学与写作） | 40 |
| Mathematics（数学，修到 Integrated II） | 20 |
| Life Science（生命科学） | 10 |
| Physical Science（物理科学） | 10 |
| Health（健康） | 5 |
| World History（世界历史） | 10 |
| United States History（美国历史） | 10 |
| Government（政府） | 5 |
| Economics（经济） | 5 |
| World Language（世界语言） | 20 |
| Fine Arts（艺术） | 10 |
| Physical Education（体育） | 20 |
| 必修合计 | 165 |
| Electives（选修） | 75 |
合计 240 个学分。几条容易忽略的规定：
- 数学只要求修到整合数学 II（Integrated Math II），比加州大学 A-G 的三年要求低一年
- 世界语言的 20 个学分中可以有 10 个来自 7 到 8 年级的语言课
- 舞蹈专业学生不必在学术课时段另修体育课
- 并非所有艺术专业课程都能算作加州大学认可的艺术学分
- 毕业必修课程必须首次在 OCSA 修读
毕业要求和大学申请要求是两套标准。加州大学与州立大学的 A-G 课程要求每门课成绩 C 以上，低于 C 的课程即使拿到了毕业学分也不被 A-G 承认；毕业只需两年数学，而 A-G 要求三年。2024-25 学年，Orange County School of the Arts 有 87.89% 的毕业生完成了全部 A-G 课程，全部在校生都在修 A-G 课程，但两者之间的差额正是选课时最需要注意的部分。

常见问题
Orange County School of the Arts 的学生一天能上几门学术课？
Orange County School of the Arts 采用隔日轮换的大块课表，Blue Day 上第 1、2、3 块，Gold Day 上第 4、5、6 块，每块 85 分钟。7 到 11 年级每天必须在校上三块学术或选修课，12 年级至少两块。艺术专业课排在这些课之外，周一至周四下午 14:15 到 16:45 共两块。因此一名学生一学年最多修六门学术或选修课。
在 Orange County School of the Arts，Honors 或 AP 课程跟不上，什么时候可以降到普通班？
Orange County School of the Arts 规定从 AP 或荣誉课程降到普通班需要任课教师推荐并有空位，课程手册写明截止时间是学期第 6 周末，学生手册写的是教师提出降级建议的截止时间为第 7 周末。2026 年秋季学期的具体日期：8 月 21 日改课申请截止，9 月 18 日降级截止，10 月 30 日之后退课记 W/F 并按不及格计入 GPA。
在校外或网上修的课程能记入 Orange County School of the Arts 的成绩单吗？
从 2029 届开始不能。Orange County School of the Arts 规定，在校外修读的所有课程（包括大学课程）不计入毕业要求、不出现在 OCSA 成绩单上、也不计入校内 GPA，学生只能在申请大学时把校外机构的成绩单与 OCSA 成绩单一并提交。用于加速或拓展的校外课程必须是加州大学认证课程，并须事先与辅导员沟通；通过后也不保证能升入下一级课程，仍以空位为准。
尔湾家庭把 Orange County School of the Arts 和自己学区的高中放在一起比较，毕业学分和数学年限一样吗？
不一样。Orange County School of the Arts 不属于任何学区，也不是尔湾联合学区的学校，是独立运营的公立特许校，毕业要求是 240 个学分，数学只要求修到整合数学 II（Integrated Math II），也就是两年；而加州大学与州立大学的 A-G 要求三年数学并建议四年。艺术学分方面，毕业只需两个学期的艺术课，但并非所有艺术专业课程都算作加州大学认可的艺术学分。因此选课应按 A-G 的标准安排，不能只盯着毕业学分。EDUBUS 的顾问在尔湾，可以帮忙比较这类特许校与学区高中的毕业要求。
不满足先修条件，还能选 Orange County School of the Arts 的 AP 或荣誉课程吗？
可以尝试。Orange County School of the Arts 的多数 AP 与荣誉课程都设有先修课程和期末成绩要求，不满足条件的学生可以与辅导员面谈，填写 AP/Honors 课程豁免表（AP/Honors Course Waiver Form），由学校判断是否放行。课程手册同时写明，学生只有在修过所需的前置课程、仅仅是成绩未达标的情况下才可能获得豁免。
