AP Science Courses
AP Biology
Advanced Placement Biology is a college-level course that explores the principles of life and biological systems through the study of topics such as cellular processes, genetics, evolution, ecology, and organismal interactions. Through laboratory investigations and scientific inquiry, students develop critical-thinking, analytical, and problem-solving skills while applying biological concepts to real-world situations. AP Biology prepares students for success in future science courses and provides a strong foundation for students interested in health sciences, research, and other STEM-related fields.

AP Chemistry
Advanced Placement Chemistry provides students with the opportunity to explore the fundamental principles of chemistry, including atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, thermodynamics, equilibrium, and kinetics. Through hands-on laboratory investigations and problem-solving activities, students develop their understanding of how matter interacts and changes. AP Chemistry strengthens analytical thinking, scientific reasoning, and quantitative skills while preparing students for success in college-level science courses and future STEM-related fields.
AP Physics 1 & 2
Explore how the laws of physics explain the world around us, from everyday motion to the behavior of atoms and subatomic particles. In AP Physics 1, students investigate concepts such as motion, forces, energy, rotation, and fluids through hands-on laboratory experiences. You’ll explore questions like why some objects float while others sink, why a moving bicycle is easier to balance, and how motion is affected by forces.
In AP Physics 2, students build on that foundation by studying thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, fluid dynamics, optics, and atomic, nuclear, and quantum physics. Through inquiry-based labs, you'll examine how microscopic particles create observable phenomena such as static electricity, heat transfer, nuclear reactions, and atomic emission spectra.
Both courses emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and laboratory investigation, helping students develop a deeper understanding of the physical principles that govern our universe.
