beyond what we see the Trio taking.

 It is said that Hermione "took nobody´s advice but signed up for 
everything". By doing that she had to study arithmancy, ancient 
runes, care of magical creatures, divination and muggle-studies. 
the other subjects we´ve get to know of are history of magic, 
herbology, transfiguration, charms, potions, astrology, DADA (and 
Advanced DADA). there is also a broomstick-riding-course, although 
this one is short. 
 I don´t think Hermione took any other course beside those we get to 
know about, considering that she usually speaks a lot about what she 
studies. However, this doesn´t mean that there are nothing more is 
taught at Hogwarts. There might be courses added as the student gets 
older (example: Studies of Magical Languages, like troll, mermish or 
gobbledegook...Alchemy...or Mugglestudies like the Arts, Modern 
Languages, Mathematic oand the much awaited sexeducation :)
Durmstrang and Beauxbatons does seem to teach English, since Fleur as 
well as Krum (although with a rather noticeable accent) speaks it. 
This could of course be some kind of translation-charm, thrown over 
everybody - but this being the case, shouldn´t it have been mentioned?
