ASL will be the primary mode of communication (student-student and/or student-teacher) throughout this course.
Grade 9-12. Prerequisite Algebra 1. Weighted Grade.
This course offers a multidisciplinary approach to teaching the underlying principles of computation. The course will introduce students to the creative aspects of programming, abstractions, algorithms, large data sets, the Internet, cybersecurity concerns, and computing impacts. The course is designed to be equivalent to a one-semester introductory college computing course and complements AP Computer Science A as it aims to broaden participation in the study of Computer Science. AP Computer Science Principles also gives students the opportunity to use current technologies to create computational artifacts for both self-expression and problem solving.
Students who successfully complete this course and the AP Computer Science A examination may receive college credit and/or a higher placement for a college course.
Grade 10-12. Prerequisite is Biology and concurrent enrollment in Geometry.
This course introduces the college-bound student to basic chemistry principles through lecture, laboratory, and group work. The laboratory experience emphasizes the discovery of key concepts through the analysis of student-generated data.

Grade 10-12. Prerequisite is one year of Science or Instructor Approval
This college preparatory course investigates the uniqueness of Earth and illustrates how Earth is part of a bigger universal system. Students will compare how the objects of our universe form and compare them in order to better understand the origins of Earth and how it changes through time. ESS will explore the origins of the universe, how we observe the universe, the structure of our solar system and the geological history of Earth.
Grade 10-12. Prerequisite is one year of Science or Instructor Approval
This college preparatory course will challenge students to sharpen their awareness of how the natural world functions and empowers students to function positively in the real world as a living human. This course forces the student to recognize their interdependence with many aspects of the Earth’s systems. EES will explore plate tectonics, landscaping forces, food production, water consumption, climate change and weather. Ultimately, students will connect their impact to each of these systems.
Grades 10-12. Year-long. Prerequisite is IED or POE. Weighted grade.
This course is the study of electronic circuits that are used to process and control digital signals. Digital electronics is the foundation of all modern electronic devices such as cellular phones, MP3 players, laptop computers, digital cameras and high-definition televisions. The major focus of the DE course is to expose students to the process of combinational and sequential logic design, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standards and technical documentation. A lab fee will be charged.
Grade 9-12 No prerequisite.
This semester course will explore a variety of tools, techniques, and media which provide students with the foundation necessary to expand into more specialized areas. Students will create two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art. A materials fee will be charged.
