There is no "Space Traffic Controller School" because there is no such thing as a "Space Traffic Controller" because there is no such thing as "Space Traffic" .
2 :
If you take correspondence courses via a hyperspace link, then your mom's basement is as good of place as any, which is convenient since it sounds like you may be living there for a good long time.

In what year of High School do students in the USA study calculus

In what year of High School do students in the USA study calculus?
Not anything really complicated, just stuff like drawing sin, cos, etc graphs, circular functions, log, and antidiff. Not for any particular reason. I'd just like to know. :)

usually senior. cuz u have to complete the levels before it. But if your reallyy smart then junior :)
2 :
usually as a senior, your 4th year and sometimes calculus is not offered, most of the time actually, except in honors or advanced placement classes. but it depends how far you get before that because you have to have completed geometry, algebra II trig, and statistics, before you go to pre-calculus.

How does the high school system works in the USA

How does the high school system works in the USA?
I mean, I know everything about the grades and the subjects you have to take. I wanted to know how many years you have to take of each subject and if there's any kind of order(like you HAVE to take math in 9th grade) and what about physical education? I know you can choose a sport, but what if you don't like any of them? can you just make gym? And if yu play football, for example..when it's not football season, what do you do at physical education? Another one or gym? Thanks ;)

well it depends on the state. I did 3 years of math, 4 english, 4 history, 3 science, gym 2. You can play all of them. I had 6 weeks of volleyball, six weeks of basketball and so on. I know you can play a sport like football and not have to go to gym. you only need so many credits of each subject.

Depends on what state you live in. Here in Rochester NY I have to take three years of math and science but all 4 years of history, english and gym. We have extra curricular classes you can do like human relations, art courses (photography, illustration, studio art) For sports they are after school for me sports and gym class are totally separate they don't effect on another. In gym, after sophomore year, juniors+seniors can choose between three gym courses, physical fitness, team games, and outdoor education (biking, camping, hiking ect...) And basically those are the basics, but you need a certain amount of high school credits or more to graduate.

Depends on the state and the local school district. Each state has its own laws regarding education and often school districts set their own policies in addition to the state laws. Most states will require a certain number of years for the main subjects, but the number of years required varies. Some will have different options of requirements--one set of requirements for those in a regular program, another for those in a college prep. program, and perhaps another for those in a vocational (career training) program. Usually the requirements will vary from 3 to 4 years of math, science, English, and social studies (though sometimes only 2 years of a subject are required). There are often requirements for health, PE (or gym--which might be a sport or might be general gym; if the sport is in the off-season, the student would have to do gym or another sport), and other subjects. Generally, a student is strongly encouraged (or maybe even required) to take the core courses (like math, science, social studies, English) each year until the student has met those requirements. But it doesn't have to be done that way. (Though schools like students to take the core courses each year so that if the student fails, the student will be able to make the course up before graduation time more easily.) Sometimes students who are interested in going to college/university find out about the course requirements of the particular college/university that they want to go to and use those requirements to help them plan their high school courses. Whether you have to take courses in a certain order also depends a lot on the school district. Some are strict about students taking classes in a particular order because it is easier for the school to schedule teachers and courses. Larger schools are often less strict (but end up having more students who don't graduate).
