Core courses are your basics, Math, science, English, social studies. These are the courses you must take no matter what your major will be in college.

Core courses are like the core courses in high school.
Everyone has to take math, english, some kind of science, and even some "electives" actually are part of the core curriculum.
Yes, I agree if you can take them in high school it definately will save you money but not only that it will put you ahead of the general college folks. Also if you take these classes in high school you get a sneak peak of the format for college classes with the small class size of high school and accessibility of the teacher.
Some of these courses are much more difficult or atleast intense so if you are not in it to make a good grade may not such a good idea.
Also my sis and bro did this and at their school they got a boost on their GPA b/c lets say you make an 80 in calculus you get a 90 in your file. ---check into that for your school, though.
hope this helps

Core courses are the ones people have described. Colleges look primarily at core course grades. If you have a test in art and English on the same day, you want to make sure that you prioritize English.
If you plan to attend college you want to take a sufficient number of core courses.
It is hard to do college classwork, if you don't read or write well which is why English is a core course.

Core courses are the important ones. They might be things like math, science, English, etc. This would be as opposed to pottery, art, etc. Make the most of your high school years--you will not get free school much longer.

Core: math, science, social studies, English
You should add at least a computer class, an art/music/drama, and a foreign language.
Core classes are the ones that you are required to take for graduation.

English, Math, and History.
I'm not sure what you are asking. If you mean AP (advanced placement) classes I agree take a few in high school. The senior year is usually a waste so why not get some college credit for it.

Core courses are those usually required no matter what degree you are after.
