     The AP Calculus AB course covers concepts taught in the college Calculus I and Calculus II. Topics include limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals and applications of these topics. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating an understanding of the concept graphically, analytically, verbally, and algebraically. The course prepares students for college level work and demands self discipline in work habits. In addition, the course prepares students for the Advancement Placement exam. Students who score a certain grade can earn college credit.

     AP Literature and Composition is designed to teach beginning college writing through the fundamentals of rhetorical theory and follows the curricular requirements described in the AP English Course Description. Also, the course provides students with the intellectual challenges and workload consistent with a typical undergraduate university. Representative works by British, American, and Russian writers, as well as works written in several genres from the sixteenth century to contemporary times are included in the course description.

     The AP Language and Composition course is designed in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the AP English Language and Composition Course Description. This course is open to any senior who is willing to accept the challenge of rigorous academic work in order to become skilled readers and writers of prose nonfiction. Students will be introduced to a variety of texts, writers, and rhetorical techniques. In addition to reading prose from various time periods and of varied purpose, students will also demonstrate proficiency in writing all types of essays and a research paper. The course begins in August and ends shortly after the national AP exam is administered in early May. Summer reading and writing assignments are expected to be completed when the school year begins in August. Students receive a syllabus for each quarter. In order to meet the objectives for this course, students must organize their time wisely. The demanding workload requires much out of class work. Students are constantly involved with reading various examples of nonfiction prose and writing and revising their own work.
