High school is the name used in some parts of the world (in particular the United Kingdom, Northern America and also Oceania) to describe an institution which provides all or part of secondary education. The term "high school" originated in Scotland, Great Britain with the world's oldest being the Royal High School (Edinburgh) in 1505, and spread to the New World countries as the high prestige that the Scottish educational system had at the time led several countries to employ Scottish educators to develop their state education systems.

The Royal High School was used as a model for the first public high school in the United States, the English High School founded in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1821. The precise stage of schooling provided by a high school differs from country to country, and may vary within the same jurisdiction. In all of New Zealand and Malaysia along with parts of Australia and Canada, high school is synonymous with secondary school, and encompasses the entire secondary stage of education.

A. There is a common misconception that a "Commercial Pilot" is the same as an Airline Pilot. This is not necessarily the case. A Commercial Pilot Certificate simply allows you to operate an aircraft for hire. Much like a Commercial Driver's License. In order to act as Pilot In Command of an airliner, you need what's called an Airline Transport Pilot certificate. So, if someone is a commercial pilot, that doesn't automatically make them an airline pilot. Is a high school diploma required to obtain your Commercial Pilot Certificate? No. The requirements are as follow (directly from FAR 61.121) Be at least 18 years of age. Be able to read, speak, write, and understand English Pass the required Commercial Pilot knowledge test.

What high school classes should I take to prepare for music therapy?
Q. I am a sophmore in high school and my school is about to go onto 7 period schedules. Yet the only additional electives I have taken is Spanish. That means I have my junior and senior years and with my academics and band, I only have two periods left to decide my classes. I plan on taking classes online over summer, but what classes should I take if I want to get into a college offering music therapy degrees? There are only two in my state (my parents don't want me going out of state. Any suggestions?

A. You definitely need to take music. Check online to determine what courses the college you choose will want you take to get the music therapy degree. See if any courses offered at your high school would be precursors to the ones you will take while attending college. Better yet set up a visitation to the college you want to attend and meet with the councilors there. Good luck to you.

How important is high school physics for a bio major in college?
Q. I want a biology major in college but I don't want to take physics in my senior year of high school. Will it make a difference if I don't take physics in high school?
Asked by madd - Sun Sep 7 20:11:45 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. high school physics are useful for math and engineering majors. furthermore, it is interesting. i loved it so much i took physics 2. i am going into neuroscience, which is centered in biology. it will look good to a college because physics is challenging. but if you dont want it, then dont take it, cause you dont really need it for biology. =)
