Students learn fundamental skills in reading and discussing literature. Through a survey of three books, students will increase their exposure to new vocabulary in context, practice discussion skills with both their teacher and peers, and be introduced to ways of approaching theme, character, setting, and plot through conversation.
This course will focus on three genres: poetry, fiction, and personal narrative. In each 90-minute session, students will complete creative writing exercises, read, short anchor texts, and write their own original work.
In this course, students will be able to develop their analytical writing skills. From “unpacking” an author’s word choice to organizing a literary paragraph, students will bolster their ability to craft a cohesive argument and defend it with rich textual evidence.
We are going to learn the fundamentals of Python and its most sought after applications, including data analysis, web scraping, and machine learning or other development tracks. After acquiring a good understanding of the fundamentals, we will look at various tracks and cater the course to the students’ interests.
Pre-Calculus is built on concepts of trigonometry, geometry, and algebra in preparing students for the study of calculus. Students focus on modeling, problem-solving, data analysis, trigonometric and circular functions and their inverses, polar coordinates, complex numbers, conics, and quadratic relations.
Geometry introduces students to points, lines, planes, angles, parallel lines, triangles, similarity, trigonometry, quadrilaterals, transformations, circles, and area. Students will apply mathematical concepts and knowledge to solve problems. Students will develop critical thinking and decision-making skills by connecting concepts to practical applications.
