AP Computer Science Courses
The following Advanced Placement courses can be taken co-currently in the same class and move along at their own pace. Each AP exam requires its own exam fee.
COMPUTER SCIENCE AP
AP Computer Science Principles is a course that allows students to explore a wide range of computer science topics. When you take AP CSP, you'll discover how computers and technology are impacting our daily lives, from the apps we use, to how our personal data is collected, to how AI can have positive and negative consequences. In this course, you’ll learn how to harness technology to:
Work collaboratively to address real-world issues.
Design a computer program to solve a problem.
Analyze data to generate new knowledge.
Communicate ideas about technology.
All students who enroll in this AP course are expected to take the AP exam in the spring. A fee is charged for this exam.
CYBERSECURITY AP
AP Cybersecurity is a yearlong high school course that offers a broad introduction to the field and aligns closely with a college-level, introductory cybersecurity course. Students learn about common threats and vulnerabilities and how they combine to create risk. Students study how individuals and organizations manage risk and how risk can be mitigated through a defense-in-depth strategy. Students explore specific vulnerabilities, attacks, mitigations, and detection measures across a variety of domains including physical spaces, computer networks, devices, and data and applications. Throughout the course, students consider the impact of cybersecurity on individuals, organizations, societies, and governments. Content and skills taught in the course align with the professional skills outlined in the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Workforce Framework. AP Cybersecurity is part of the AP Career Kickstart™ group of courses, which are designed to accelerate high school students on their paths to in-demand careers.
The course framework is organized into five units that reflect key domains of cybersecurity knowledge and practice:
Unit 1: Introduction to Security
Unit 2: Securing Spaces
Unit 3: Securing Networks
Unit 4: Securing Devices
Unit 5: Securing Applications and Data
All students who enroll in this AP course are expected to take the AP exam in the spring. A fee is charged for this exam.
NETWORKING AP
AP Networking trains students in the field and aligns closely with standard first-year collegiate introductory networking courses. Students blend learning essential networking concepts with relevant, hands-on problem-solving activities to maximize their understanding of network hardware, logical and physical configuration, the use of protocols to enable reliable and accurate transmission of data between hosts, and relevant security practices that protect the transmission of data within and between computer networks.
Students learn the value of configuring devices and networks with a “security-first” mindset to mitigate common vulnerabilities. Students work collaboratively to connect, configure, troubleshoot, and secure devices and networks while building critical thinking and communication skills.
All students who enroll in this AP course are expected to take the AP exam in the spring. A fee is charged for this exam.
AP European History
Prerequisites
AP World History strongly recommended
Current History Honors/AP student: B average or higher or Teacher Recommendation
Current History student: A average or Teacher Recommendation
European History Advanced Placement is intended for qualified students who wish to complete studies in secondary school equivalent to college introductory courses in European History. AP European History is an introductory college-level European history course. Students cultivate their understanding of European history through analyzing historical sources and learning to make connections and craft historical arguments as they explore concepts like interaction of Europe and the world; economic and commercial developments; cultural and intellectual developments; states and other institutions of power; social organization and development; national and European identity; and technological and scientific innovation. The goals of European History AP are to develop an understanding of some of the principal themes in modern European history, an ability to analyze historical evidence, and an ability to analyze and express historical understanding in writing.
Summer Assignments Required.
All students who enroll in an AP course are expected to take the AP exam in the spring. A fee is charged for this exam.
Medieval Societies
grades 9-12
This one-semester elective explores the structures, conflicts, and cultures of medieval societies from the 5th–14th centuries. Students will examine feudalism, emerging states and empires, and conflicts across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The course emphasizes identifying common misconceptions about the Middle Ages and developing historical thinking skills which can connect to modern issues of class, governance, and geopolitics.
