During the first semester of this year-long course, students will read and analyze various kinds of written texts, including novels and short fiction, informational texts representing a wide range of topics, and several one-act plays. Lessons in Semester A will also guide students in writing their own narratives and essays, using the readings in the course as both examples and sources of ideas for reflection, analysis, and argument. Students will learn better ways to discuss their thoughts and perceptions with others - they will practice their skills in collaborative discussions as well as informal journal entries, presentations, and speeches. Writing assignments include personal narratives, analytical and persuasive essays, and an original one-act play. Some emphasis is placed on understanding and thinking critically about news and media sources. In Semester B, students will examine the role of historical autobiographies and diaries in our understanding of history. In the process, they'll study the impact of point of view on nonfiction texts. Students will be given opportunities to write autobiographical narratives of their own and then asked to connect their experiences to universal themes or philosophical positions, which they explore through writing about them. In the second half of the semester, students will study the relationship between poetic expression and several conventions of language, including syntax, voice, sentence types, and punctuation. Near the end of the semester, students will reflect on their own growth and development throughout the year, compiling a portfolio that illustrates the progress they've made. Finally, students will consider what high school will ask of them and how they might fulfill those expectations, having gained a better understanding of their strengths as well as areas ripe for continued learning and progress.

AP Calculus AB is a comprehensive introduction to calculus that is 
comparable to a one semester college-level course. The material is 
challenging and corresponds with the syllabus of the College Board 
Advanced Placement Program. The course is mainly concerned with 
developing understanding of the concepts of calculus and applications to
 many areas of study including science, business, and engineering. The 
course emphasizes problems that are being expressed graphically, 
numerically, and algebraically. Students will build the foundation of 
Calculus by analyzing graphs and calculating limits of functions. The 
concepts of continuity and derivative as a rate of change will lead to 
the computation of derivatives using the sum rule, product rule, 
quotient rule, chain rule, and implicit differentiation. The derivatives
 of all functions are introduced which include power functions, 
exponential functions, logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, 
and inverse trigonometric functions. These derivatives are applied to 
the solving of real-world situations. The course continues with 
techniques of integration, indefinite integrals, definite integrals, the
 fundamental theorem of calculus, and various applications of 
integration. Students will need to be very proficient in the 
applications of the graphing calculators as it will be used extensively 
and required for 2 sections of the AP Calculus AB Exam. Students who 
complete AP Calculus BC may not enroll in AP Calculus AB, nor is 
concurrent enrollment in both courses allowed. Online or Handheld

An interactive text, graphing software, and math symbol software combine
 with the exciting online course delivery to make Calculus an adventure.
 This course is designed to prepare the student for the AP Calculus BC 
exam given each year in May. An Advanced Placement (AP) course in 
calculus consists of a full high school year of work that is comparable 
to calculus courses in colleges and universities. It is expected that 
students who take an AP course in calculus will seek college credit, 
college placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning. Most 
colleges and universities offer a sequence of several courses in 
calculus, and entering students are placed within this sequence 
according to the extent of their preparation, as measured by the results
 of an AP examination or other criteria. Students with AP Calculus BC 
examination credit are generally awarded 2 semesters of College Calculus
 credit. Students who complete AP Calculus AB may not enroll in AP

With the current changes in global climate, rising sea levels, and warming oceans, it is important for students to discover the state of Earth's systems and the consequences of human activities. AP Environmental Science provides students with a global view of their world and their role in it. It examines the scientific principles and concepts required to understand the interrelationships between ocean, land, and atmosphere that guide the natural world and allow Earth to be a planet suitable for life. Laboratory activities within the course support their learning of these relationships through reflective, hands-on, or virtual experiences. In addition, students identify and analyze environmental problems that are natural and human-made, determining their own ecological footprint in the world to discover how their activities affect the world around them. They evaluate the relative risks associated with environmental problems and examine alternative solutions, such as clean energy, sustainable practices, and conservation, for resolving or preventing future environmental problems.

AP Human Geography introduces high school students to college-level introductory human geography or cultural geography. The content is presented thematically rather than regionally and is organized around the discipline’s main subfields: economic geography, cultural geography, political geography, and urban geography. The approach is spatial and problem oriented. Case studies are drawn from all world regions, with an emphasis on understanding the world in which we live today. Historical information serves to enrich analysis of the impacts of phenomena such as globalization, colonialism, and human–environment relationships on places, regions, cultural landscapes, and patterns of interaction. Students also learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their research and applications. The curriculum reflects the goals of the National Geography Standards (2012). There are no prerequisites for AP Human Geography; however, students should be able to read college level texts and write grammatically correct, complete sentences.

Students begin their introduction to Chinese by focusing on the four key
 areas of foreign language study: listening, speaking, reading, and 
writing. This course represents an ideal blend of language learning 
pedagogy and online learning. Each unit consists of a new vocabulary 
theme and grammar concept, reading and listening comprehension 
activities, speaking and writing activities, multimedia cultural 
presentations, and interactive activities and practices which reinforce 
vocabulary and grammar. There is a strong emphasis on providing context 
and conversational examples for the language concepts presented in each 
unit. Both Chinese characters and pinyin are presented together 
throughout the course and specific character practices are introduced 
after the first quarter. Students should expect to be actively engaged 
in their own language learning, become familiar with common vocabulary 
terms and phrases, comprehend a wide range of grammar patterns, 
participate in simple conversations and respond appropriately to basic 
conversational prompts, analyze and compare cultural practices, 
products, and perspectives of various Chinese-speaking regions, and take
 frequent assessments where their language progression can be monitored.
 The course has been carefully aligned to national standards as set 
forth by ACTFL (the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign 
Languages).
