I can only suggest that they do have these sorts of lessons, but that it isn't much fun to write about them compared to the Magic lessons!<<<

I agree...these kids must get some sort of higher education, but reading
about these types studies seem sort of mundane to the magic classes.

There are classes in the books that require higher knowledge. I think
Transfiguration requires some science. Doesn't it state somewhere that
one needs to know the makeup of certain animals before transforming
them? Potions would require math and science to get correct measurements
and correct combinations of items. 

What category would DADA be? Physical Education? Logic? Reasoning?

What about Magical Creatures? The just seems more like going to the
zoo...minus the blast ended skrewts.

Divination...not sure...that seems much like a sleeper class, since one
can BS his/her way through the final.
