This course emphasizes collaboration, professional writing, and the scientific method. Students create simulations to communicate central ideas in the physical, biological, and social sciences and deepen their understanding of concepts in discrete math and computer science. Students apply statistics and data analysis to understand systems and predict behavior, and they compare models to complex, real data. In SAM, students create models and simulate social, physical, and biological systems. Simulation and Modelling (SAM, 0.5 year) This course prepares students for the College Board’s Advanced Placement CS-A test and aligns with CSTA Level 3C Standards. Students analyze, adapt, and improve each other's programs while working primarily in Java™ and other industry-standard tools. Students collaborate to produce programs that integrate mobile devices and leverage those devices for distributed collection and data processing. Computer Science Applications (CSA, 1 year) ĬSA focuses on integrating technologies across multiple platforms and networks, including the Internet.

The course aligns with CSTA 3B standards. Projects and problems include app development, visualization of data, cybersecurity, robotics, and simulation.

CSE helps students develop programming expertise and explore the workings of the Internet. This course can be a student's first course in computer science, although we encourage students without prior computing experience to start with Introduction to Computer Science. Using Python® as a primary tool and incorporating multiple platforms and languages for computation, this course aims to develop computational thinking, generate excitement about career paths that utilize computing, and introduce professional tools that foster creativity and collaboration. Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSE, 1 year) ĬSE implements the College Board’s 2013 CS Principles framework.
