Course Flow
Two Thematic Foundational Computer Science courses:
-
- Concentrator: AP Computer Science Principles (9th)
(Count towards another Science Course)
-
- Capstone: AP Computer Science "A" (10th)
(Count towards another Math Course)
Taking these two courses as prescribed provide students with:

Math includes many sequences. It depends on your course choice. 9th traditionally start (H) Algebra 1 or (H) Geometry. If you have accelerated in Math and can go into (H) Algebra 2 or (H) Advanced Math that can be arranged. Advanced Math is highly competitive and accelerated math were students learn Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus in one school year.
