The Advanced Placement Physics C course at ACHS is a demanding curriculum designed specifically to introduce students to a more advanced study of physics, and to prepare them for taking the College Board's AP Physics C exam. Physics is truly the most fundamental of all sciences and one of the most enjoyable (and challenging!) to study. In here, you will receive a strong college-level foundation in physics: we will emphasize solving a variety of high-level problems, some requiring calculus. As an instructor of this course, it is my great pleasure and honor to assist you along this path you have chosen. It won't always be easy, but it is my sincere hope that you will find the journey rewarding.
