Transitions to<br />
College<br />
THIS COURSE WILL assist students in dealing with the maze of<br />
financial aid, scholarships, choosing the best college offer, determining where<br />
to live, budgeting, English and math placement tests, and preparing a course<br />
of study for the freshman year.<br />
STUDENTS WILL prepare scholarship searches and applications, financial<br />
aid applications, as well as compile a portfolio of consisting of not only<br />
sample college budgets based on their college choices, but also a sample<br />
course of study, scholarships, information on extra curricular college<br />
offerings, and a calendar of timelines for upcoming due dates. Students will<br />
also develop<br />
interpersonal skills for successful independent living.<br />

AP Computer<br />
Science A/B<br />
The AP Computer Science A course is equivalent to a first-semester, college-level<br />
course in computer science. The course introduces students to computer science<br />
with fundamental topics that include problem solving, design strategies and<br />
methodologies, organization of data (data structures), approaches to processing data<br />
(algorithms), analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of<br />
computing. The course emphasizes object-oriented and imperative problem solving<br />
and design using the Java language. Students are expected to take the AP exam in<br />
May, and while there are no class fees the exam costs approximately $92.<br />

AP Computer<br />
Science<br />
Principles A/B<br />
AP Computer Science Principles offers a multidisciplinary approach to teaching the<br />
underlying principles of computation. The course will introduce students to the<br />
creative aspects of programming, abstractions, algorithms, large data sets, the<br />
Internet, cybersecurity concerns, and computing impacts. AP Computer Science<br />
Principles also gives students the opportunity to use current technologies to create<br />
computational artifacts for both self-expression and problem solving. Together, these<br />
aspects of the course make up a rigorous and rich curriculum that aims to broaden<br />
participation in computer science. Students who elect to take the Advanced<br />
Placement exam will be required to pay the test fee. (Qualified students may apply<br />
for financial assistance.)<br />
