Electives

Harbor City operates using skinny-block schedule during the semester. Monday, Wednesday & Friday classes operate on a six-period schedule, with "core" subject offerings, such as mathematics, foreign language, science, english, and social studies. On Tuesdays & Thursdays a 4 period extended block schedule is in place and students take periods 1,2, 3 & Elective block (96 min.) on Tuesdays, and periods 4,5,6 & Elective block (96 min.) on Thursdays.

Longer blocks of time during Tuesday & Thursday electives allows for in-depth study of elective topics. Some examples are Guitar Workshop, Personal Finance, Fitness, Teen Health, Printmaking, Classic Literature on Film, Cooking and Nutrition, and Earth Science.
