Course Catalog

This course introduces students to the world of statistics, equipping them with essential analytical tools for understanding real-world information. From interpreting data to making informed decisions, students will explore key concepts in probability, data collection, and analysis. Practical applications and real-life examples will empower students to navigate the data-driven landscape, enhancing their ability to critically assess information and solve everyday problems.

The Trigonometry course is a deep dive into the fundamental trigonometric functions, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of these essential mathematical tools. Throughout this course, students will explore the intricacies of trigonometry, gaining a profound knowledge of sine, cosine, and tangent functions, as well as their applications in various mathematical and real-world contexts.

Precalculus course provides the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for success in advanced mathematics. Students will explore topics such as algebra, functions, and trigonometry. This course serves as a bridge to higher-level math, preparing students for more advanced studies.

Our Calculus course offers an in-depth exploration of functions, graphs, and models, as well as exponential and logarithmic functions. Students will master differentiation and its applications, as well as integration and its applications.

In this course, students learn how to work with data in real-world scenarios. They start by understanding different ways to represent data using graphs. As the course progresses, they gain skills in interpreting, collecting, and analyzing data. The course also covers probability and how it applies to financial decision-making.

The AP Statistics course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. There are four themes evident in the content, skills, and assessment in the AP Statistics course: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, probability and simulation, and statistical inference. Students use technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding. (College Board, 2020)

Throughout this course, students develop and hone symbolic manipulation skills, including solving equations and manipulating expressions, for the many function types throughout the course. Students also learn that functions and their compositions, inverses, and transformations are understood through graphical, numerical, analytical, and verbal representations, which reveal different attributes of the functions and are useful for solving problems in mathematical and applied contexts. In turn, the skills learned in this course are widely applicable to situations that involve quantitative reasoning. (College Board, 2023)

AP Calculus AB is designed to be the equivalent of a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. (College Board, 2020)

AP Calculus BC is designed to be the equivalent to both first and second semester college calculus courses. AP Calculus BC applies the content and skills learned in AP Calculus AB to parametrically defined curves, polar curves, and vector-valued functions; develops additional integration techniques and applications; and introduces the topics of sequences and series. (College Board, 2020)

Following a review of the nation’s beginnings and the impact of the Enlightenment on U.S. democratic ideals, students build upon the study of global industrialization to understand the emergence and impact of new technology and a corporate economy, including the social and cultural effects. They trace the change in the ethnic composition of American society; the movement toward equal rights for racial minorities and women; and the role of the United States as a major world power. An emphasis is placed on the expanding role of the federal government and federal courts as well as the continuing tension between the individual and the state. Students consider the major social problems of our time and trace their causes in historical events. They learn that the United States has served as a model for other nations and that the rights and freedoms we enjoy are not accidents, but the results of a defined set of political principles that are not always basic to citizens of other countries. Students understand that our rights under the U.S. Constitution are a precious inheritance that depends on an educated citizenry for their preservation and protection.

This course explores the history and culture of Asia from its earliest beginnings to the modern era. The examination of Asia will focus on the geography, institutions, traditions, belief systems, and contemporary issues that have shaped and continue to shape East, Southeast, South, and Southwest Asia (the Middle East). The course traces historical relationships among Asian nations and regions involving cultural diffusion, trade, conquest, and colonialism and how these have impacted Asia. It also will explore the experience of Asian Americans in today’s society and how their experience has changed throughout the years. Furthermore, this course will consider how globalization has affected Asia’s relationship with the rest of the world.

Students celebrate and learn the rich history and culture of African Americans in this African American Studies course.
