CURRICULUM GUIDE 2026-27

441 | AP CALCULUS— AB 1.0 CREDIT

Prerequisite: 85 % in AP Precalculus or teacher recommendation

This course covers all of the topics set forth by the College Board Advanced Placement Program in Calculus AB. Ideally, the student will understand and be able to work with the concepts of functions, graphs, and limits, along with their derivatives and applications of the derivative. Integral calculus and its applications will also be studied. This course is fast paced and designed for highly motivated and talented students.

$ A fee is charged for the AP exam.

442 | CALCULUS 1.0 CREDIT

Prerequisites: Pre-Calculus

This course is designed to give students an overview of Calculus topics such as limits and continuity, derivatives, anti-derivatives, integrals and differential equations. While this course covers many of the same concepts found in Advanced Placement Calculus, it is not bound by the pace and rigor necessary for success on the AP Calculus exam. Course Topics will include: Functions, Limits, Continuity, Derivatives, Applications of Derivatives, Integration, Applications of Definite Integrals, and Integration Techniques.

444 | PRE-CALCULUS 1.0 CREDIT

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra II and Geometry with Trigonometry

This course is designed to be a strong fourth year math course with emphasis on applications and analysis of a variety of mathematical concepts. Ideally, a student will understand and be able to solve problems in major areas of study. These areas are: functions, vectors and trigonometry, inequalities, exponents and logarithms, analytic geometry. The student will also have knowledge of polar coordinates, parametric equations, and matrices. Admission to this course is ordinarily limited to seniors.

445 | PROBABILITY / STATISTICS & COLLEGE ALGEBRA WITH TRIGONOMETRY 1.0 CREDIT

Prerequisite: Successful completion of Algebra 2

This course is designed for students who plan to enter fields such as economics, business, education, biology, medicine, and many others. Ideally, a student will understand and be able to work with the concepts of random variables, probability functions, and binomial and normal distributions. College Algebra with Trigonometry is an effective mathematical tool to prepare a student for college algebra or precalculus. Ideally, a student will understand and be able to work with the concepts of linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and systems of functions, as well as their graphs, solutions and applications. The student will receive an introduction to trigonometric and circular functions including the Laws of Sines and Cosines, trigonometric identities, graphs, inverses, and the Unit Circle.

449 | AP CALCULUS— BC 1.0 CREDIT

Prerequisites: 93 % in AP Precalculus

This course is a first and second course of study in elementary calculus. Students will prepare for the Advanced Placement Calculus BC exam which could lead to an additional semester of college math credit beyond the Advanced Placement Calculus AB credit. In addition to the AB topics, students will study vector and parametric functions, their derivatives and applications, polar curves, additional methods of integration, sequence and series and convergence.
