Can I get in senior year in High School if I just turned 18 in California?

Question

My situation is a little different. I currently live in Brazil and me and my family intend to move to California. Is it possible for me to get into senior year if i'm already 18 years old? And if I do, what classes should I take since i never got to experience any of ther earlier grades of high school? Any advices?

Answer 1

It shouldn't be a problem. I'm from the "other side" of the US, so curricula may be different. The school will compare what you have completed to their state/district requirements and you will create a schedule based on that. If your spoken English matches your written English, you shouldn't have any trouble in that area.
