Algebra 2 + is a comprehensive review and extension of the concepts learned in a typical Algebra I course. Students will begin with an extensive review of the core foundational Algebra 1 topics, including: solving linear and quadratic equations and inequalities, functions and function notation, and systems of equations and inequalities. Students will then build upon these core concepts with in-depth coverage of fundamental Algebra II topics. A variety of instructional practices including (but not limited to) in class explorations, individual presentations, group projects, and teacher-led class discussions will be utilized to support students as they develop a wide range of problem-solving techniques of mathematical topics as well as mathematical ownership over their learning. Key topics include polynomial functions, rational functions, radical functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions and trigonometry. A ti-83+ or ti-84+ graphing calculator is required for this course.

(Prerequisite: Computer Science 1)
This course teaches advanced programming techniques.  Building on the foundations laid in Computer Science 1, students will learn object-oriented programming  and advanced object-oriented design patterns.  Students will learn to design, document, and program sophisticated computer applications from scratch, such as graphical-user interface and physics simulators. The class will emphasize elegant, well designed and documented object-oriented code.

In the 2024-2025 school year, this class replaced Computer Science 2. Students who previously completed Computer Science 2 should not take Computer Science 2A.

(Prerequisite: Computer Science 1)
This course introduces students to the theory of computation by exploring its fundamental procedural and structural elements.  Students will learn core algorithmic techniques—such as sorting, searching, recursion, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms—as well as how to analyze them using formal mathematical tools.  They will also study fundamental structures for organizing data, such as lists, arrays, graphs, and trees.  Class projects will mix theoretical analysis with practical applications.

(Prerequisite: Computer Science 1 and Computer Science 2b)
This course introduces the core ideas, algorithms, and data structures of modern artificial intelligence.  Students explore techniques for classification, optimization, reinforcement learning, neural networks, and other fundamental artificial intelligence and machine learning tasks.  Students will apply these techniques to develop their own intelligent systems.

(Prerequisite: Algebra 2A&B) What does it mean to live in a global economy?  In this class students will be introduced to an overview of Micro Economics and Macro Economics. By analyzing market trends associated with historical events between the 1900’s and the present time, students will learn how changes in policies have shaped global economies.

(Prerequisite: A grade of B- or higher in Algebra 2)

This course is an introduction to a general study of functions. Topics covered include polynomial functions, exponential and logarithmic functions and their properties, graphs, and applications. It is a prerequisite for Calculus.

The Texas Instrument Graphing Calculator TI-83 or TI-84 is required for the course.

Students will examine metrics such as screen time, dialogue, and casting through statistical tools such as t-tests, chi-square tests, and linear regressions to reveal the underlying distortions in what we see. They will then use visual art techniques such as compilation, montage, and the film essay to explore and deconstruct clichés and stereotypes and create graphs of discovered data, trends and patterns to explore and process the data. The final project will be a self-portrait that explores the ideas of false mirrors versus authentic narrative.

This course awards credit toward the Social Justice requirement. 

(Prerequisite: A grade of B or better in Elementary Functions and Trigonometry) 

This course will serve as an introduction to the two main ideas of Calculus—differentiation and integration. If you want to know what Calculus is about before taking it in college, this course is for you.

(11/12, Requires completion of Algebra 2B, qualifies as a non-algebraic elective) This course explores the mathematics, strategy, and analysis of multi-player games. Topics covered include strict dominance, nash equilibria, brinkmanship, and forward and backward induction. There will be a particular focus on the prisoner’s dilemma as well as creating simple games and strategies using game theory.

(Required grade 9 or as determined by placement)

Geometry develops logical thinking through proofs and attention to definitions. It gives students a new way of looking at the world by analyzing the symmetries and patterns around them, and it develops practical skills through applications. This course covers the standard topics in a college-preparatory course in Geometry. At minimum, a scientific calculator is required for this course. Students may benefit from acquiring a ti-83 or ti-84 graphing calculator as that will be required for Algebra 2 and beyond.

Geometry + Preliminary Topics develops logical thinking through proofs and attention to definitions while reinforcing algebraic skills to further develop mathematical fluency.  It gives students a new way to think about the world by understanding patterns around them and develops practical skills and applications in visual and logical reasoning. This course will cover material in a college-preparatory course in Geometry with a core focus on reinforcement and extending problem-solving and abstraction skills from an Algebra I curriculum. At minimum, a scientific calculator is required for this course. Students may benefit from acquiring a ti-83+ or ti-84+ graphing calculator as it will be required for Algebra 2 and  beyond.

This class is an Integrated Studies course designed to explore the connections and overlap between math and art. Using math and visual arts skills, students will explore a variety of questions, assumptions, projects, and theories that challenge stereotypes about math and art. This class aims to build resilience in young scholars who enjoy problem-solving. Students are asked to take academic and intellectual risks by exploring ideas and approaches that are out of their comfort zone and to practice self-motivation by staying engaged with the class activities and homework assignments. This class is open to students of all grades.

This course will engage students in the programming of a VEX robot. Students will be introduced to basic programming and problem-solving strategies associated with robot systems. Through hands-on projects and activities, students will work in teams to program autonomous robots, while learning to document their progress. The class will emphasize asynchronous sensor-based programming using  elegant, modular code.

(Prerequisite: Algebra 2)

The study of statistics applies the calculations and deductive thinking of mathematics to the real-world problems of the social sciences, the decision-making needs of medicine and business, and the laboratory methods and experimental procedures of the natural sciences. This course covers descriptive statistics including the standard deviation and the normal distribution, and inferential statistics, including sampling and confidence intervals, the chi-square test, and curve fitting.
