Our Algebra 2/Trig curriculum follows closely the ideas and skills described in the Common Core for that subject. These include operations with quadratics and higher order polynomials, work with rational expressions, radical expressions, and complex numbers, transformation of functions and their graphical representations, the fundamental theorems of algebra, including the factor theorem, rational root theorem, as well as trigonometric problem-solving and proofs involving trigonometric identities. To best complete one academic year over the four-week period, a large part of each day will be spent doing small-group work, individual study, and testing. Self-motivation, strong independent learning, and good study habits are essential for success in this highly accelerated and individually paced program. Not all students finish the entire curriculum.
This course has prerequisites. Students wishing to register for Algebra 2 must demonstrate that they have successfully completed (or are currently enrolled in) Algebra 1 and Geometry. Please submit evidence of success in these courses (by uploading a relevant report card) during the application process.
