Algebra I Review |
Time: 1:30pm-3:45pm |
|
This class will cover a range of topics in order to compensate for deficiencies in a student's algebraic knowledge and provide preparation for Algebra II. This class is designed for students who have already taken a complete course in Algebra I.
Tuition, Testing and Materials: $1160 |
|
|
|
|
Algebra I Full Credit or Enrichment |
Time: 8:00 am - 1:00 pm |
|
Designed to prepare students for Algebra II,
Algebra I begins with a review of pre-algebra concepts. Students
study algebraic expressions and learn to solve equations,
problem solve, learn inequalities, absolute value, polynomials,
factoring equations, and other algebraic functions.
Prerequisites: Pre-Algebra with grade B+
or higher.
Tuition: $1450 (books and
materials not included) |
|
|
|
|
Geometry Review |
Time: 1:30pm-3:45pm |
|
Primarily covering material in plane geometry,
the course also provides additional work in coordinate geometry
and developing clear orderly thinking. This class is designed
for students who have already taken a complete course in Geometry.
Tuition: $1160 (books and
materials not included) |
|
|
|
|
Geometry Full Credit or Enrichment |
Time: 8:00 am - 1:00 pm |
|
This course addresses the core concepts of a
two-semester geometry course, primarily covering material
in plane geometry but also including basic coordinate geometry
and properties of solids. While inductive and deductive reasoning
are addressed by the course, the focus of the course is on
providing the students with a solid foundation of the core
theoretical concepts of plane geometry and strengthening their
ability to flexibly apply the studied material to real-life
situations.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Algebra
I with a grade of B or higher is needed to be enrolled in
this course. A scientific calculator is needed for the course.
Tuition: $1450 (books and
materials not included) |

|
|
|
Honors Geometry Full Credit or Enrichment |
Time: 8:00am-1:00 pm |
|
This course enables students to accelerate their
curriculum and prepare for Honors Algebra II. The focus of
the course is on developing the students' inductive and deductive
reasoning skills, the importance of the interplay between
intuitive and formal reasoning being emphasized throughout
the course. Topics include: a discussion of the axiomatic
foundation of Euclidean geometry, properties of angles and
segments, parallel lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons,
circles, solids, congruence and similarity of plane figures,
perimeter, area, volume, coordinate geometry, and transformations.
Additionally, the course contains a logic module designed
to introduce students to the logic foundation justifying the
underlying mechanism of proofs. The course covers both direct
and indirect proof techniques and introduces students to a
variety of proof formats (two-column, paragraph, flow).
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Algebra
I with a grade of B+ or higher is needed to be enrolled in
this course. A scientific calculator is needed for the course.

Algebra II Review |
Time: 1:30pm-3:45pm |
|
Students may select to take this course to review
concepts in preparation for higher mathematics. This class
is designed for students who have already taken a complete
course in Algebra II.
Tuition: $1160 (books and
materials not included) |

|
Honors Algebra II Full Credit or Enrichment |
Time: 8:00am-1:00 pm |
|
This course is designed to serve as the equivalent
of a full year, two semester course. The topics addressed
by Honors Algebra II include operating with real as well as
imaginary numbers, analyzing the behavior of a variety of
functions and using them to model real-life relationships,
solving and graphing systems of equations and inequalities,
sequences and series (including mathematical induction), and
the study of conics. Some aspects of trigonometry will be
addressed if time permits. This course enables students to
accelerate their curriculum and prepare for honors pre-calculus.
The main difference between this course and Advanced Algebra
II course is that the theoretical aspect of the course is
treated in a more rigorous manner, and the applied aspect
of the course often requires students to apply the studied
concepts in a non-procedural manner.
Prerequisites: Algebra 1 and Geometry honors
with grade B+ or higher.
Tuition: $1450 (books and
materials not included) |
|
|
|
|
Advanced Algebra II Full Credit or Enrichment |
Time: 8:00am-1:00 pm |
|
This course is designed to serve as the equivalent
of a full year, two semester course. The course offers a brief
review of elemental algebra but emphasizes the study of polynomials,
exponential, and logarithmic. Students will also study geometric
and arithmetic sequences and series. This course enables students
to accelerate their curriculum and prepare for pre-calculus.
Prerequisites: Geometry with at least a B
and Algebra 1 with at least a B+.
Tuition: $1450 (books and
materials not included) |
|
|
|
|
Pre-calculus and Trigonometry Full Credit
or Enrichment |
Time: 8:00am-1:00 pm |
|
Designed as a full credit preparation for calculus,
this course will serve as the equivalent of a full, two semester
course. The course offers extensive emphasis on problem solving
and the study of relations, functions, equation solving and
graphing. The functions studied include polynomial, conics,
rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse
functions.. A graphing calculator is recommended for this
course.
Prerequisites: Algebra II with grade B+ or
higher/ Advanced Algebra II with B or higher
Tuition: $1450 (books and
materials not included) |
|
|
|
|
Honors Pre-calculus and Trigonometry Full
Credit or Enrichment |
Time: 8:00am-1:00 pm |
|
Designed as a full credit preparation for
college level calculus, this course will serve as the equivalent
of a full, two semester course. The course offers extensive
emphasis on advanced algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry,
vector algebra, limits and polynomial and transcendental
functions. A TI-82 calculator is recommended for this course.
Prerequisites: Honors Algebra II with (books
and materials not included)
Tuition: $1450 (books and

Intro to AP Calculus AB |
Time: 8:00am-12:45 pm |
|
This rigorous course will provide a thorough
overview of the concepts of differential and integral calculus.
Course content will include Limits and Continuity, Derivatives,
Applications of Derivatives, The Definite Integral, Applications
of Definite Integrals, and an introduction to Differential
Equations and Slope Fields. This course will be beneficial
to a student who wants a head start in Calculus and is offered
for enrichment only. It is not intended to replace a full
year Calculus course. However, for the student, who has already
taken calculus and wishes to reinforce his or her skills for
review can take this course for review credit.
Tuition: $1485 (books and
materials not included) |
