Course offerings and timeline for sophomore year and beyond is extremely tentative. Mililani High School will provide more detailed course offerings as information becomes available.
Students will take 7 courses during their Freshman Year. All 7 courses will be for high school credit only. There will be no early college courses offered during freshman year. Students will be focusing on their high school graduation requirements and will participate in a Study Skills 1 course that will help them develop study techniques and strategies that will help prepare them for early college opportunities. They will also participate in the EdReady online experience as part of the Study Skills 1 course, which will allow them to take an initial placement test for college level English and Math. Through EdReady, students will be able to learn from tutorial lessons throughout the year. This will help prepare them for placement in early college courses. EdReady is a personalized program that is designed to help learners test their readiness in Math and English and gain a personalized learning path to fill in those knowledge gaps. EdReady provides placement test results for Leeward Community College. The program also includes a process where students can learn necessary concepts to participate in early college and Leeward CC course opportunities.

Math 100: MATH 100 includes a variety of selected mathematical topics designed to acquaint students with examples of mathematical and quantitative reasoning that demonstrate the beauty, power, clarity, and precision of mathematics. The core course content includes deductive, numeric, symbolic, graphical and statistical algorithms and reasoning. MATH 100 is not intended as, and does not qualify as, a prerequisite for advanced mathematics courses.
Math 103: Functions, graphs and their properties are studied by generalizing and interpreting techniques initially introduced in elementary algebra. Simplification techniques are used to define, simplify, and derive elementary properties of linear, quadratic, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions. Equation, system and inequality solving techniques are used to determine the domain and range and analyze the nature of the roots and intersection points of functions and graphs. Quantitative interpretation and practical application of functions and graphs are included throughout the course.
We are looking into Summer school options that will allow students to have more flexibility in their Senior Year.
