The AP® Human Geography course explores how humans have understood, used, and changed the surface of Earth. Students will use the tools and thinking processes of geographers to examine patterns of human population, migration, and land use.

The AP® Precalculus course prepares students for other college-level mathematics and science courses. Students explore everyday situations using mathematical tools and lenses, developing an understanding of modeling and functions, and examining scenarios through multiple representations. The course framework outlines content and skills needed for careers in mathematics, physics, biology, health science, social science, and data science.

AP® Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP® course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

AP® Calculus BC is roughly equivalent to both first and second semester college calculus courses. The AP® course covers topics in differential and integral calculus, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and series.

The AP® English Language and Composition course aligns to an introductory college-level rhetoric and writing curriculum, which requires students to develop evidence-based analytic and argumentative essays that proceed through several stages or drafts. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments.

The AP® English Literature and Composition course aligns to an introductory college-level literary analysis course. As they read, students consider a work’s structure, style, and themes, as well as its use of figurative language, imagery, symbolism, and tone. Writing assignments include expository, analytical, and argumentative essays that require students to analyze and interpret literary works.
