what does your highschool teach (programming languages)?

Just wanted to know what programming languages your high schools teach.
Our class went to a local high school, where most kids are going and here is what is going to be taught throughout G9-12:

Grade 9 - Turing
Grade 10 - VB
Grade 11 - Java, or flash/HTML courses
Grade 12 - Java

I live in Thornhill, (somewhat close to Toronto) and the school is Thornlea.

grade 11 - pascal for CS and VB for programming
grade 12 - Java

grade 10: turing/html
grade 11: turing/java/xhtml
grade 12: java/c

old school
grade 9 : turing
grade 11/12 : turing

thank god i moved, or i would've became some turing king Laughing

my school has integrated tech so in grade 9 and 10 you can learn a little bit of programming (Turing for about 3 weeks lol) but there is also construction tech and communications tech so it isn't really much.

then the grade 11 and 12 classes, they are combined. last year we learned Java. the year before (I wasn't in the class) but they learned Turing. this year I believe we are going to learn more Java!

They taught Pascal and Turing (depending on the course) when I was in high school. I think they started teaching C or Java more recently.

Grades 10 and 11 are Turing
Grade 12 is Java.

Lots of Turing for your high schools. Didn't realize a lot of a schools still teach that.
Shouldn't they probably do some less Turing maybe, since now that it's free and probably will not be being worked on by holsoft?

Oh yeah, and grade 9 for our school is part of Intergrated Tech too.

My old school I believe had the class of... 2004? not sure, but they voted if they should keep Turing, and as you can see, it is no longer taught.

Grade 9 : Integrated Technologies (general stuff)
Grade 10: Turing
Grade 11: Visual Basic
Grade 12: VB and Flash

10: Turing
11: Java
12: cancelled

Grade 10 - Turing
Grade 11 - Memorization
Grade 12 - Java, I think.

Wow what school do you go to ericfourfour? There that much lack of interest?

It's actually surprisingly common for high schools to scrap grade 12 CS. In my high school, most of my graduating class was taking grade 11 CS as an easy/get-to-play-videogames class, and as a result grade 12 Computer Science was cancelled the following year.
