school subjects

Classes you take

School subjects are the distinct areas of study that make up an educational curriculum: math, history, science, English, and so on.

The term appears most often in discussions of primary and secondary education: What's your favorite school subject?

At higher levels, the same areas are more often called disciplines or fields.
