ALL Math course paths are valid & “good” courses. Talk to your teachers! Consider your skills, your interests, & your goals. Pre-Calculus is strongly recommended for math, science & most business programs. It leaves maximum options for post-secondary.

BUT is a 2nd language required ??

It depends on if you go straight to university from high school, the program you choose, & the university/college you attend. It’s a good idea to keep your options open!
