Welcome to the Computer Science SECRET PAGE!

The Coding class (Intro to Computer Science) is based on The Beauty and Joy of Computing at UC Berkeley. First semester is a computer coding class that uses the Snap! visual programming language to introduce students to computational thinking. We then transition to text-based programming using the beginner-friendly Python language in the second semester.

In AP Computer Science A we get familiar with the concepts and tools of computer science as we learn a subset of the Java programming language. You'll do hands-on work to design, write, and test computer programs that solve problems or accomplish tasks. Some skills you will learn include, designing a program, developing the algorithms it needs, and writing code to implement them. You will be testing program code and correcting errors and documenting and explaining how program code works.

AP Computer Science Principles is an introductory college-level computing course that introduces students to the breadth of the field of computer science. Students learn to design and evaluate solutions and to apply computer science to solve problems through the development of algorithms and programs. They incorporate abstraction into programs and use data to discover new knowledge. Students also explain how computing innovations and computing systems—including the internet—work, explore their potential impacts, and contribute to a computing culture that is collaborative and ethical.
