ALGEBRA 1 CREDIT
Algebra 1 Credit
Develops basic skills needed in algebra, including solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, factoring, operations with fractions, systems of linear equations in two variables, rational and irrational numbers, and functions and their graphs. In addition, opportunity is given to apply these skills to varied problem situations.
NOTE: 120 hour Credit course that meets from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. each day.
algebra 2 credit
Algebra 2 Credit
Following a review of the algebra skills learned in Algebra I, this course includes the study of rational, irrational, and complex numbers; quadratic equations, conic sections, exponential and logarithmic functions, sequences, series, binomial expansion, and matrices and determinants.
NOTE: 120 hour Credit course that meets from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. each day.
geometry credit
Geometry Credit
This is a course in the axiomatic system of Euclidean Geometry. Provides an effective combination of plane and solid geometry, develops powers in inductive and deductive reasoning, and keeps algebra skills fresh by the inclusion of a study of coordinate geometry.
NOTE: 120 hour Credit course meets from 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. each day.
calculus ab credit
A course that "brings together ALL the concepts of mathematics a student has learned throughout their schooling...and lays the foundation for a new type of math...allows them to describe and understand the behavior of functions, and as a result, any real-world phenomena that those functions represent." This is a Survey course in calculus taught by an experienced teacher, covering as many topics as time and students' abilities permit. Graphing calculator is required.
precalculus credit

Algebra II Honors Credit
This course encompasses all required college preparatory concepts of Algebra II. Moving at a very fast pace, only successful honors level math students should take this intensive and rigorous course. Mathematical concepts are often introduced at a more abstract and theoretical level. Geometric proofs are included throughout the course to improve the student's understanding and logical thought process.
Note: 150 hour credit course meets from 8:00 am to 2:15 pm each day (45 minute break for lunch). Lunch is included in the cost of this course.
geometry honors credit
A rigorous exploration of plane and solid geometry, looking at the traditional Euclidean perspective as well as more modern ones involving coordinate geometry and transformations. A primary focus of the course is mathematical reasoning with the aim of aiding students to become confident, independent, critical thinkers and problem solvers, well-equipped for the intellectual challenges of further study in an honors math sequence.
Note: 150 hour credit course meets from 8:00 am to 2:15 pm each day (45 minute break for lunch). Lunch is included in the cost of this course.
precalculus honors credit
This course encompasses all required college preparatory concepts of Precalculus. Moving at a fast pace, only successful honors level math students should take this intensive and rigorous course. Mathematical concepts are often introduced at a more abstract and theoretical level. Geometric proofs are included throughout the course to improve the student's understanding and logical thought process. Graphing calculator is required.
Note: 150 hour credit course meets from 8:00 am to 2:15 pm each day (45 minute break for lunch). Lunch is included in the cost of this course.

Language Arts
Each Integrated Language Arts course combines traditional language arts (grammar, vocabulary, literature) with a large dose of essay writing. All ILA courses meet from 8:30-10:20 a.m. in two 50-minute blocks.
Integrated language arts 1
Integrated Language Arts 2
A review of grammar and English fundamentals with emphasis on the proper writing of sentences and organization of the paragraph. Short works of literature are studied as a basis for writing assignments and reading comprehension. This program is an excellent way for students with strong conversational English to improve their English writing and reading skills.
Designed for students who have completed grade 7.
integrated language arts 3
Reviews the form of essay writing and develops skills necessary for successful expository writing. Our essay writing program focuses more on the complete essay - thesis statement, supporting paragraphs and conclusion; they are an excellent way to improve a student's English writing and reading skills.
Designed for students who have completed grade 8 or higher; this course also includes an introduction to high school literature.

Math Problems 1
Algebra 1 Enrichment
Develops basic skills needed in algebra, including solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, factoring, operations with fractions, systems of linear equations in two variables, rational and irrational numbers, and functions and their graphs. In addition, opportunity is given to apply these skills to varied problem situations.
Algebra 1 Part 2 Enrichment
Begins with inequalities and factoring and covers linear equations in two variables and functions. This course covers material presented in the second year of a two-year Algebra I course. Placement in Algebra 1 Part 1 OR Algebra 1 Part 2 enrichment classes will be determined by a placement test administered in May.
