Algebra I

This course is designed for students who are proficient in basic mathematics, and have mastered pre-algebra skills.  The objective of Algebra I is to develop skills in algebraic manipulation, and to give students an understanding of Algebra by emphasizing concepts, structure, and applications.

Algebra II

In addition to expanding on the mathematical concepts of Algebra I and Geometry, emphasis will be placed on preparation for study of higher mathematics- abstract thinking skills, the function concept, and the algebraic solution of problems in various content areas.

Advanced Algebra II

Algebra III

This course is intended for students who may be required to take a specialization calculus course in college. Topics may include, but are not limited to, relations and functions (including circular, trigonometric, etc.), complex number matrices, vectors, sequences, series, and probability.

Geometry

This course is designed for college bound students. Emphasis is placed on discovery and realistic applications of geometric relationships and principles. Topics will include inductive and deductive reasoning, points, lines, planes, angles, triangles, planar figures, similarity and congruence, circles, geometric solids, area, volume, coordinate geometry, and transformation.

Advanced Geometry

Pre-Calculus

This course is intended for students who plan to take a calculus course in high school or college. The course covers topics traditionally taught in trigonometry and analytical geometry plus additional functions, e.g., circular, polynomial, absolute value, and natural numbers (sequences and series).

Advanced Calculus

This course is an advanced  course, covering the material usually taught in the differential and integral calculus.

AP Calculus

This course is an Advanced Placement course, covering the material usually taught in the differential and integral calculus. Students who complete the course may take the AP exam in Calculus or take the UK bypass exam if they are also interested in earning college credit.

Calculus II

This course is an Advanced Placement course, covering the material usually taught in the differential and integral calculus. Students who complete the course may take the AP exam in Calculus or take the UK bypass exam if they are also interested in earning college credit.

Practical Statistics

Probability and Statistics

This course is designed for the student who may be taking a statistics course in college. The topics include descriptive statistics, including variance, standard deviation, z-score and T-score: probability distributions, including binomial distributions. Poisson distributions and normal curves and inferential statistics, including sampling, estimation, correlation, regression analysis, and analysis of variance.

AP Statistics

The Advanced Placement Statistics course will include the study of distributions, relations, in categorical data, random variables, use and abuse of test and inference for linear regression.

AP Computer Science

This course is designed to teach students to program in JAVA.  The college board curriculum is followed.
