After an in-depth review of core PreCalculus topics, students will study limits, differentiation, integration, and their applications.
This AP level course includes the study of limits, differentiation, integration, and conic sections. Students in this course are required to commit to more out-of-class work than is normally required for mastery of a high school course.
This AP Calculus BC curriculum covers all topics in AP Calculus AB, as well as in-depth investigations of the following: polar, parametric, and vector equations, areas, volumes, particle motion, arc length, sequences and series.
This AP level course is designed to explore important concepts in statistics. Students will study in-depth techniques and applications of statistics. Topics will include organizing data, averages and variation, regression and correlation, probability and binomial distributions, normal distribution, estimation, hypothesis testing, difference testing, Chi-Square testing, and linear regression.
In this one semester course, students will acquire a basic knowledge of personal finance, including budgeting and long-term financial planning, banking, credit, investing and taxes. Students will also explore strategies for sound financial decision-making. The course will provide a brief introduction to general financial principles for businesses as well. ❏ Algebra 2
In this course, foundational probability concepts are studied including the fundamental counting principle, odds, the three laws of probability, conditional probability, and basic combinatorics. Concepts are then applied to gameplay in various board, card, and casino-style games. Throughout the course, various “labs” will take place where students play games live and distinguish between empirical and theoretical probabilities. The course culminates with a game design project.
