Courses
2020-2022 Common Core Algebra 1
Recommended Prerequisite(s): A grade of a “C” or higher in Common Core Math 8AB
This is an introductory-level course. In Algebra, students will see that certain properties that exist when working with expressions that represent numbers can now be written in an abstract form involving variables. Students will extend this knowledge to include absolute value equations, linear inequalities, and systems of linear equations. Also, they will be able to interpret functions that occur in applications including linear, quadratic, and exponential models.
2020-2021 English 10AB
10th grade course
Students will read persuasive texts, with a focus on the credibility of an author’s argument, the relationship between generalizations and evidence, the comprehensiveness of evidence, the way in which the author’s intent affects the structure and tone of the text, and extend ideas through original analysis, evaluation, and elaboration. Students will read expository texts, use what they have learned to establish a controlling impression or coherent thesis that conveys a clear and distinctive perspective on a subject, maintain a consistent tone, and focus throughout a piece of writing. Students will read literary texts (e.g., short stories, poetry, and longer works, including novels), recognize and understand the significance of various literary devices, including figurative language, imagery, allegory, and symbolism, and explain their appeal.
2021-2022 Interactions for Physical Science
Recommended Prerequisite(s): None
The Interactions curriculum introduces students to science as an endeavor, a process we engage in, rather than solely a set of discoveries by others. Through engaging in modeling and scientific explanation, students explore curious aspect of the everyday world, discovering how the unseen world of atomic level interactions and energy transformations are responsible for much of what we observe in the world around us. Interactions course is designed to support high school physical science students in developing an understanding of the forces and energy involved in atomic and molecular interactions. The course helps students to develop and use models of interactions at the atomic molecular scale to explain observed phenomena, and to develop a model of the flow of energy and cycles of matter for phenomena at macroscopic and submicroscopic scales.
2022-2023 Common Core Geometry AB
Recommended Prerequisite(s): A grade of a “C” or higher in Common Core Algebra 1AB
This is an introductory-level course. Geometry AB introduces students to formal geometric proofs and the study of plane figures, with an emphasis on Euclidean geometry. Concepts included are geometric transformations, proving geometric theorems, congruence and similarity, analytic geometry, and right triangle trigonometry. Students are expected to model real-world situations and make decisions using these ideas.
2023-2024 Common Core Algebra 2AB
Recommended Prerequisite(s): A grade of a “C” or higher in Common Core Algebra 1AB and Common Core Geometry AB
This is an introductory level course. In this course, students will expand concepts from Algebra 1 including rewriting, interpreting, and examining rational, radical, polynomial expressions and arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. They will also expand their knowledge of rational, polynomial, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Systems of equations will be explored for two or more variables. Students will further build on trigonometry they learned in geometry to include the unit circle and prove/apply trigonometric identities.
2022-2024 Learning Center
Recommended Prerequisite(s): None
SECONDARY LEARNING CENTER
The purpose of the secondary Learning Center is to provide exceptional students, particularly those receiving services from the Resource Specialist Program (RSP), with supplemental Direct Instruction Services in content, learning strategies, and progress monitoring in academics, transition, behavior, and/or social communication skills. Instruction in the Learning Center must be based on students’ needs identified in their IEPs that impact progress in the general education program.
A Learning Center is a designated classroom or set of classrooms where a diverse group of educators provides targeted instructional services to students. Both general and exceptional education teachers may provide instruction in the Learning Center, provided they have the requisite teaching credentials/ authorizations. Students receiving exceptional education services and students in general education may be served simultaneously in a Learning Center elective course when a general education teacher and a special education teacher co-teach the class and carry separate rosters.
