Pre-AP Biology has four main units. Their key topics and recommended length are outlined here: Unit 1: Ecological Systems (~5 lessons) Unit 2: Evolution (~4 lessons) Unit 3: Cellular Systems (~4 lessons) Unit 4: Genetics (~3 lessons)
In Pre-AP Biology, students engage in real-world data analysis and problem solving that sparks critical thinking about our living world. As students engage in grade-level content, they utilize the kind of scientific reasoning skills needed to analyze the natural world—and to succeed in future science and social science courses in high school and university.
This course prepares students for AP Biology.
The Pre-AP science areas of focus are vertically aligned to the science practices embedded in high school and college courses, including AP. This gives students multiple opportunities to think and work like scientists as they develop and strengthen these disciplinary reasoning skills throughout their education in the sciences:
Emphasis on analytical reading and writing: Students engage in analytical reading and writing to gain, retain, and apply scientific knowledge and to carry out scientific argumentation.
Strategic use of mathematics: Students use mathematics strategically in order to understand and express quantitative aspects of biology, to record and interpret experimental data, and to solve problems.
Attention to modeling: Students go beyond labeling diagrams to creating, revising, and using models to explain key patterns, interactions, and relationships in biological systems.
Unit Foundations
These four big ideas are addressed across all units:
The process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life.
Growth and reproduction in biological systems are dependent upon the cycling of matter and the transformation of energy.
Biological systems, occurring at various scales, respond and adapt to stimuli in order to maintain dynamic homeostasis.
Genetic mechanisms are essential to maintaining biological systems.
This course will be using the flipped classroom approach, as such videos and assignments will be assigned to be completed outside of the class sessions. During meeting times, we will focus on a question and answer format to best utilize the brief period of time collectively together. We will be meeting via Zoom.
The content, assignments, and assessments will be based upon the Pre-AP Course and Exam Description (CED) available in the Pre-AP Classroom website or here.

Pre-AP Chemistry has four main units. Their key topics and recommended length are outlined here: Unit 1: Structure and Properties of Matter (~4 lessons) Unit 2: Chemical Bonding and Interactions (~5 lessons) Unit 3: Chemical Quantities (~3 lessons) Unit 4: Chemical Transformations (~4 lessons)
In Pre-AP Chemistry, students develop a deep conceptual understanding of matter and energy at the molecular level as they learn to explain their macroscopic observations using particulate-level reasoning. As students engage in grade-level content, they utilize scientific reasoning skills needed to analyze the natural world—and to succeed in future science and social science courses in high school and college.
Pre-AP is meant to prepare students for AP.
The Pre-AP science areas of focus are vertically aligned to the science practices embedded in high school and college courses, including AP. This gives students multiple opportunities to think and work like scientists as they develop and strengthen these disciplinary reasoning skills throughout their education in the sciences.
Attention to modeling: Students develop and refine models to connect macroscopic observations to structure, motion, and interactions occurring at the atomic scale.
Strategic use of mathematics: Students integrate mathematics with conceptual understanding to model chemical phenomena.
Emphasis on analytical reading and writing: Students engage in analytical reading and writing to gain, retain, and apply scientific knowledge and to carry out scientific argumentation.
Unit Foundations
These big ideas are addressed across all units:
Structure and Properties: All matter is composed of particles that are in constant motion and interact with one another. This movement and interaction is responsible for the observable properties of matter. Observed properties can be used to infer the number and types of particles in a sample of matter.
Energy: Energy is transferred in all physical and chemical processes. During these processes, energy is either redistributed within the system or between systems.
Transformations: At its heart, chemistry is about rearrangements of matter. These rearrangements, or transformations, involve the breaking and forming of intermolecular forces or chemical bonds. Macroscopic observations can be used to quantify and describe these rearrangements at the atomic scale.

In Pre-AP Algebra 2, students solidify and extend the understanding of functions and data analysis developed in prior courses.
Students build upon linear, quadratic, and exponential functions as they work to define logarithmic, polynomial, rational, square root, cube root, and trigonometric functions. Quantitative literacy is developed by weaving data sets, contextual scenarios, and mathematical modeling throughout the course.
Pre-AP is meant to prepare students for AP.
Areas of Focus
The Pre-AP mathematics areas of focus are vertically aligned to the mathematical practices that are fundamental to the discipline of mathematics in high school, AP courses, and beyond. This gives students multiple opportunities to think and work like mathematicians as they develop and strengthen these disciplinary reasoning skills throughout their education:
Connections among multiple representations: Students represent mathematical concepts in a variety of forms and move fluently among the forms.
Greater authenticity of applications and modeling: Students create and use mathematical models to understand and explain authentic scenarios.
Engagement in mathematical argumentation: Students use evidence to craft mathematical conjectures and prove or disprove them.
Unit Foundations
These big ideas are addressed across units:
Functions
Operations with Functions
Inverse Functions

In AP English Language and Composition, students engage deeply with a wide range of nonfiction texts, examining them through the lens of a writer. The course focuses on understanding how authors and speakers make deliberate rhetorical choices—such as tone, structure, evidence, and style—to effectively communicate and persuade their intended audience. Through close reading and critical analysis, students learn to identify and evaluate these strategies in essays, speeches, articles, and other forms of argumentation.
As the course progresses, students develop their own writing by applying these techniques to craft clear, coherent, and persuasive pieces. Emphasis is placed on argumentation, synthesis of multiple sources, and the ability to adapt writing for different purposes and audiences. Students will also strengthen their skills in research, revision, and timed writing in preparation for the AP exam.
We recognize that some students may have independently studied English or developed strong writing skills outside of a formal classroom setting and may feel prepared to take on the challenge of this course. While we welcome such initiative, it is important to note that AP English Language and Composition is a rigorous, university-level course that demands consistent reading, writing, and critical thinking. The responsibility for determining whether this course is the right fit ultimately rests with the student, and we encourage careful self-assessment before enrolling.
The content, assignments, and assessments will be based upon the AP Course and Exam Description (CED) available in the AP Classroom website or here.
