  Not sure on the rest, but have you checked out classes about game theory? It's a fascinating mix of psychology, philosophy, and gaming; I really got into it. Lemme know if you've heard of it. no i havent.. but my future school does not have this, only has like 3 or 4 comp classes

  I'm pretty sure he doesn't have anything like that... He's only in high school.
  
  
  
  Anyway, I'd say try to take both. My biggest regret in high school (regarding course work) was not taking risks with classes.
  
  
  
  But make sure you take some English classes. You could definitely use it.

  Well, it depends. Do you want to be an artist (take the former) or a programmer (take the latter). Two different paths those classes take.

  While normally I'd agree, at his low of level on the ladder, it wouldn't hurt to take both. In fact, it would make him more well-rounded, more knowledgeable, and might even expose him to something he might prefer more than he'd think.
