Recommended Grade Level: 9-12

Prerequisites: Teacher/school counselor recommendation only  

Course Description: Students build and reinforce foundational math skills which they have not achieved mastery. They progress through carefully paced, guided instruction and engaging interactive practice. Formative assessments identify areas of weakness and prescribe lessons to improve performance. Summative assessments track progress and skill development. If needed, students can move on to Pre-Algebra to further develop the computational skills and conceptual understanding needed to undertake high school math courses with confidence.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   2nd Semester of a 2-semester course

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Successfully completed courses in which you studied algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions.

Course Description: This course is the equivalent of an introductory college-level calculus course. Calculus helps scientists, engineers, and financial analysts understand the complex relationships behind real-world phenomena. Students learn to evaluate the soundness of proposed solutions and apply mathematical reasoning to real-world models. Students also learn to understand change geometrically and visually (by studying graphs of curves), analytically (by studying and working with mathematical formulas), numerically (by seeing patterns in sets of numbers), and verbally. Students prepare for the AP exam and further studies in science, engineering, and mathematics.

Prerequisites: Success in previous English courses, and teacher/school counselor recommendation    

Course Description: AP English Language and Composition provides students with the opportunity to read and write critically. The course is structured into units, based on the College Board guide. Students will closely examine big ideas such as rhetorical situation, claims and evidence, reasoning, and organization, and style. They will read a variety of non-fiction writings, including scientific, sociological, philosophical, and narrative texts. The students will read, annotate, and write synthesis essays (using several primary sources), as well as argument and rhetorical analysis essays. Students will work through the writing process using peer review and teacher feedback to complete several drafts of their work. This course is designed to be equivalent to a one-semester introductory college–or university-level survey course. This course meets the guidelines outlined in the College Board’s AP® English Language and Composition Course and Exam Description.
