Grade 10
AP Precalculus is designed to offer high school students a research-based exploration of functions designed to better prepare students for college-level calculus and provide grounding for other mathematics and science courses. In this course, students study a broad spectrum of function types that are foundational for careers in mathematics, physics, biology, health science, social science,…
Students develop the quantitative reasoning skills and habits of mind necessary to use data science and mathematical thinking effectively across multiple disciplines while learning the interactive applications and coding skills needed to meet the demands of higher education and the workplace. In this introductory statistics course, high school students have the opportunity to develop quantitative…
Students deepen their critical thinking skills and develop their ability to persist through challenges as they explore function families: Linear, Absolute Value, Quadratic, Polynomial, Radical, Rational, Exponential, and Logarithmic. Students analyze data algebraically and with technology while developing their knowledge of properties of functions, matrices and systems of equations, and complex numbers. Students will connect…
Students will deepen and extend their knowledge of functions, graphs, and equations from their high school algebra and geometry courses so they can successfully work with the concepts in a rigorous university-level calculus course. This course is designed to push students well beyond “drill and kill” type exercises, with an emphasis on unpacking mathematical definitions…
Latin I is the first course of a recommended three-year sequence which focuses on the development of the student’s ability to read Latin with comprehension. Vocabulary and grammar are studied in the context of reading passages into which cultural information has also been carefully integrated. Students learn how to pronounce Latin correctly in order to…
After a comprehensive review, the emphasis of Latin II is the continuation of the development of reading and comprehension skills. The learning of new vocabulary and more grammatical structures is emphasized as reading progresses to longer and more complicated passages. Oral Latin is a skill used to help students understand reading selections. Cultural and world…
Latin III continues to emphasize the development of reading and comprehension skills as the students read more passages of adapted and authentic Latin. Reading passages will include selections in poetry and prose from authors such as Martial, Ovid, Pliny the Younger, Cicero, Catullus, Vergil, Petronius and Tacitus. Advanced grammatical forms, vocabulary, figures of speech and…
This is a college level course that allows students to hone their skills in reading, translating, and analyzing Latin texts, as well as to demonstrate historical and cultural understanding, make connections with other disciplines, and compare Latin usage with that of English. The course uses the literatures of Vergil and Caesar as a base and…
French I is the first course of a recommended three-year sequence designed to develop fundamental language across the interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational modes of communication. The study of beginning level vocabulary, phonetics and grammar is included. The culture and civilization of the French speaking world is integrated into all aspects of the course. Level I…
The second year of French is a continuation of the development of the three modes of communication. New vocabulary and more complex grammatical structures are learned along with important cultural topics. Level II students are expected to reach a proficiency level of Novice High to Intermediate Low. Students at the Intermediate Low proficiency level express…
