Grade Placement: 9 - 12 Prerequisite: Geometry (C average recommended) Credit: 1 unit per year Computer Science I provides students with an opportunity to master high-level programming language concepts, to understand computer architecture, and to apply problem solving skills to a variety of applications by designing and implementing appropriate solutions that are well-structured, efficient, and modular in nature by using common algorithms. Students will have the opportunity to write and publish web pages on the Internet. They will learn to use HTML and JavaScripts.

Grade Placement: 9 - 12 Prerequisite: Algebra II (C average recommended) Credit: 1 unit per year The AP Computer Science (Level A) course is an introduction to computer science taught on a college level. A large part of the course is built around the development of computer programs, or parts of programs, that correctly solve a given problem and that are understandable, adaptable, and, when appropriate reusable. Included is the development and analysis of algorithsm, the development and use of fundamental data structures, and the study of standard algorithms. A case study, which is part of the AP exam, will be presented in the course. The AP program is a cooperative effort with The College Board, and college credit may be awarded upon successful completion of the A Level AP exam. Students are responsible for the examination fee.

Grade Placement: 10 - 12 Prerequisite: AP Computer Science A Credit: 1 unit per year The AP Computer Science AB course is designed to extend all topics included in AP Computer Science A as wellas a more formal and in-depth study of advanced data structures, graphics, and a Case Study, as required by The College Board. The AP program is a cooperative effort with The College Board, and college credit may be awarded upon successful completion of the AB Level AP exam. Students are responsible for the examination fee.

Grade Placement:11-12 Prerequisite: 2 years of Computer Science Credit: 1 unit per year The Independent Study course provide opportunities for students desiring to continue in the acquisition of programming skills, in solving problems, building portfolios, and creating application software. This course is designed to provide flexibility to those who want more advanced courses or a continuation of courses they have already taken.
