AP Chemistry

Welcome! AP Chemistry is an in-depth, fast-paced second-year chemistry course for advanced, science-oriented students. The course will provide students with a thorough grounding in chemical principles and quantitative reasoning, with an emphasis on inorganic chemistry. The workload is equivalent to a first-year college introductory chemistry course, including an intensive and necessary laboratory component. Students will be expected to maintain a laboratory notebook that can, depending on the university, be used to earn laboratory credit. Self-motivated, independent learners who have demonstrated strong abilities in previous science and math courses will thrive in this course. All students enrolled in this course will be prepared for and expected to take the AP examination in May, however it is not required. There are a range of scores accepted by universities for credit. If your score is accepted, it may allow you to enroll in higher-level courses as a freshman or fulfill a lab science requirement.
