Curriculum

TOPS delivers an enriched curriculum in math, the sciences, and technology as part of its programming. During their four years of high school, TOPS students are cored together for many of the classes in these areas, enabling teachers to deliver a more enriched, demanding curriculum, especially in later years. Some courses are offered at an AP level, such as AP Calculus and AP Physics. Outside of the TOPS curriculum, students have access to a wide variety of electives in subjects such as international business, computer engineering, and law.
