AP Math and Computer Science Courses
AP Calculus AB
It’s been said that change is the only true constant. Calculus helps make sense of change by grappling with questions that inspire thinkers from around the globe, across time, and in many disciplines. Can change occur in an instant? When is the next solar eclipse or the turning point for an economy? In AP Calculus AB, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of mathematical principles that can help you answer questions such as these.
AP Calculus BC

Calculus helps make sense of change by grappling with questions that inspire thinkers from around the globe, across time, and in many disciplines. Can change occur in an instant? When is the next solar eclipse or the turning point for an economy? In AP Calculus BC, you’ll cover many of the mathematical principles in AP Calculus AB and build upon them. AP Calculus BC helps you prepare for further study in mathematics and other disciplines, such as engineering, computer science, or economics.
AP Computer Science A
Do you want to cure cancer? Solve climate change? Or maybe build interactive art? AP Computer Science A explores how to use, build, and work with the technologies of tomorrow to help answer some of the biggest questions of today. In this course, you’ll design and implement computer programs using a subset of the Java programming language that can be used to develop algorithms, data structures, and solve problems.
AP Computer Science Principles
If you’ve ever been curious about how the websites and apps you love are built, this introductory computer science course is for you. You don’t need a coding background to succeed, and your school will provide the computer. In AP Computer Science Principles, you’ll learn how computers and technology impact our daily lives by examining the apps we use, how our personal data is collected, and how technology can have positive and negative consequences.
AP Precalculus
Do you want to figure out how quickly you’ll reach 10,000 followers on Instagram? In AP Precalculus, you’ll explore concepts such as polynomial and exponential functions that can help you calculate your rise to influencer status, and many more concepts related to functions, logarithms, and trigonometry that can be applied beyond the classroom.
AP Statistics
Statistics are a part of everyday life. You can see them in AI models, news polls, popular music rankings, and medical research. Discover how the statistics you see every day are developed and learn how to evaluate their credibility for yourself in AP Statistics.
