AP Physics 1

Hours: 135

AP Physics 1 is a full-year, advanced physics course that introduces high school students to the foundational principles of physics. This course covers a broad range of mechanics topics, such as velocity, acceleration, force, work, energy, momentum, simple harmonic motion, and torque.

AP Physics C: Mechanics

Hours: 150

AP Physics C: Mechanics is a rigorous, calculus-based college-level physics course that delves deeper into the foundational principles of physics. This course is designed for high school students with a strong interest in physics and mathematics. It covers an extensive range of topics, including kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion, work, energy, systems of particles, linear momentum, circular motion, and rotation. This course requires students to know basic calculus to derive and analyze equations, providing a solid foundation for future studies in science and engineering.

AP Chemistry

Hours: 135

AP Chemistry is a full-year, advanced chemistry course that introduces high school students to the scientific concepts of chemistry. This course covers a broad range of topics, such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, chemical reactions, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, and electrochemistry. Through both theoretical concepts and hands-on laboratory experiments, students gain a deep understanding of the chemical principles that govern the natural world.

AP Calculus BC

Hours: 135

AP Calculus BC is an intensive, full-year course designed for students pursuing careers in mathematics, physical science or engineering. This course is equivalent to Calculus I and II and enables students to bypass these introductory Calculus courses in college by performing well on the AP exam. Covering a wide range of topics, including limits, derivatives, integrals, parametric, polar, and vector functions, and sequences and series. 

Algebra 1

Hours: 135

Algebra 1 is a full-year course that introduces students to the fundamental concepts of algebra, including variables, algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, functions and their multiple representations. This course provides a comprehensive instruction in problem-solving techniques. Mastery of these skills is essential for success in subsequent mathematics courses.

Algebra 2

Hours: 135

Algebra 2 builds upon the principles learned in Algebra 1 with a focus on abstract reasoning and real-world applications. This course covers topics such as factoring, exponents, radicals, quadratic functions, polynomial functions, rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, probability, and statistics. Students will enhance their problem-solving skills, understand and apply complex mathematical concepts, and use graphing calculators. 

Geometry

Hours: 135

Geometry is a one-year mathematics course that explores points, lines, planes, and other geometric figures in relation to the physical world. Topics include lengths, areas and volumes, triangles, polygons, circles, the Pythagorean Theorem, and transformations. Students will proficiently use geometric tools, apply theorems, model situations, and solve problems involving two- and three-dimensional figures. 

Precalculus

Hours: 150

Precalculus is an intensive, full-year course that combines trigonometry, geometry, and algebra to prepare students for calculus. Key topics include complex numbers, polynomial functions, rational functions, trigonometric functions and their inverses, vectors, matrices, and parametric and polar curves. Precalculus emphasizes mathematical analysis and critical thinking, using numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations to solve real-world problems.
