A straightedge and compass are required.Prerequisites: successful completion of Algebra I or Intermediate Algebra � Placement by Math Department
This course is divided into 2 parts. Part I is a study of the elementary functions � polynomial, rational, linear, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric � and rates of change � with an eye towards calculus ahead. Topics are examined according to the Rule of 4: (1) graphically (2) numerically (3) analytically (4) verbally. Part II is a beginning study of the calculus of a single variable. Topics include limits, continuity, derivatives, and anti-derivatives. The use of technology is an important part of this course. A TI-83+ or TI-84 graphics calculator is required.
Prerequisites: placement by the Math department (completion of Algebra 3/Trig)
宗教研究:宗教I/II/III/V
現代語言:高級西班牙語II、西班牙語5
The course aims to reinforce the importance of second language acquisition through a variety of motivating activities and build upon skills acquired in Advanced Spanish I. The curriculum includes all grammatical elements of Spanish 2 and 3, building on grammar, vocabulary and accurate pronunciation. There is a heightened emphasis on understanding authentic resources and using these resources for written and oral communication. Oral communication skills continue to be developed through pair and group work. An audio and DVD program and numerous culturally authentic materials are used to supplement the textbook.
自然科學:物理、化學、生物、解剖生理學
Physics is an introductory course that surveys all of the core concepts of physics while minimizing the calculation-intensive areas of the field. This course covers topics such as motion, force, energy, momentum, heat, nuclear and astrophysics. Concepts are reinforced through real-world estimations and topical essays. The laboratory component of the course emphasizes conceptual understanding rather than detailed analysis. There are no prerequisites for this course; however, students must have a working knowledge of algebra and geometry.
AP Biology is a freshman-level college course in introductory life sciences, which will prepare the student for the AP Biology exam. The course covers all the topics introduced in the Honors Biology course, but in a more in-depth manner. The curriculum includes: structure and function of plants and animals, molecular biology, cytology, evolutionary biology, ecology, taxonomy and phylogeny. AP Biology meets for 1 ½ periods every day. Prerequisites for this course are HonorsBiology or Biology and Chemistry, application and departmental acceptance are required.

榮譽課程:物理、生物、化學
This course emphasizes aspects of music, such as harmony; more often, however, it integrates aspects of melody, harmony, texture, rhythm, form, musical analysis, elementary composition, and to some extent, history and style. Musicianship skills such as dictation and other listening skills, sight-singing, and keyboard harmony are considered an important part as well. The student's ability to read and write musical notation is fundamental to such a course. It is also assumed that the student has acquired (or is acquiring) at least basic performance skills in voice or on an instrument. The ultimate goal of an AP Music Theory course is to develop a student's ability to recognize, understand, and describe the basic materials and processes of music that are heard or presented in a score. The achievement of these goals may best be approached by initially addressing fundamental aural, analytical, and compositional skills using both listening and written exercises. Building on this foundation, the course should progress to include more creative tasks, such as the harmonization of a melody by selecting appropriate chords, composing a musical bass line to provide two-voice counterpoint, or the realization of figured-bass notation. Students will sit for the AP exam in May.
體育項目:足球、排球、籃球、網球、越野、滑冰、擊劍等
