American Sign Language
Course Number:
067511V/067512V |
American Sign Language (ASL) 1 is an introduction to the most widely used sign language in the United States. Students will study the basic vocabulary, structure, syntax and grammar of ASL. Students will focus on mastering the basics of finger spelling, facial grammar and sentence structure; and will also learn conversational/cultural behaviors necessary to hold a beginning-level conversation in ASL, with deaf/hard-of-hearing native users of the language. Introductory information about deaf culture will also be presented to provide students with a broad picture of language and culture. This course is intended for students that have little to no experience with ASL. Subsequent levels of this course will be dependent on student enrollment. |

ASL 1 |
American Sign Language III
Course Number:
067531V / 067532V |
ASL 3 students will learn to communicate more freely and creatively in the language. They will study the history and culture to demonstrate greater knowledge and deeper appreciation of the attitudes and practices which comprise Deaf culture including a variety of contemporary issues. By the end of the course, students will have learned to use ASL to understand and communicate in many different situations in the present, past and future. Emphasis will be on performing and interpreting longer and more complex exchanges in a greater variety of topics to build their confidence and ability in the use of ASL both within and beyond the school setting. Pre-Req: A |

AP Art History
Course Number:
029561V/029562V |
The AP Art History course welcomes students into the global art world to engage with its forms and content as they research, discuss, read, and write about art, artists, art making, and responses to and interpretations of art. By investigating specific course content of 250 works of art characterized by diverse artistic traditions, students develop an in-depth, holistic understanding of the history of art from a global perspective. Focus will also be placed on significant historical events, art periods/styles, specific artworks/artists, and issues and themes that connects the artworks. Students learn and apply skills of visual, contextual, and comparative analysis to engage with a variety of art forms, developing understanding of individual works and interconnections across history. AP Art History is the equivalent of a two-semester introductory college or university art history survey course. (This course does not qualify for NCAA eligibility.) |

AP Physics C: Mechanics
Course Number: 139320V |
AP Physics C: Mechanics is a one-semester course. It is the first of a two-course sequence that is equivalent to a first-semester college course in calculus-based physics sequence taken by science and engineering students at most colleges and universities. Course topics include kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotation, gravitation, and oscillation. Students who enroll in this class may receive college credit through successful performance on the AP Physics C: Mechanics College Board examination. This course is offered through St. Louis Virtual Campus. |
Calculus or be concurrently enrolled in Calculus |
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
Course Number: 139330V |
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism is a one-semester course. It is the second of a two-course sequence that is equivalent to a first-semester college course in calculus-based physics sequence taken by science and engineering students at most colleges and universities. Course topics include conductors, capacitors and dielectrics, electric circuits, magnetic fields, and electromagnetism. Students who enroll in this class may receive college credit through successful performance on the AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism College Board examination.

Chinese 1
Course Number:
067611V/067612V |
Chinese 1 will introduce the students to the basic components of Mandarin Chinese through theme-based content and activities. Pinyin Romanization, simplified forms of Chinese characters and basic grammar patterns, as well as functional everyday expressions will be taught within the living context of Chinese culture. This course is designed for students who wish to develop skills in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing in Mandarin Chinese. Topics will start from self-introduction and develop to students' immediate surroundings such as school, family and daily life. Cultural components will be taught through movies, video, songs, crafts, festival celebrations and geographic context. |
None |
Chinese 2
Course Number:
067621V/067622V |
Chinese 2 is the second year of the Chinese language program. It is designed for those who successfully completed Chinese 1. In this course, students will continue to develop their basic listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through the use of authentic materials. Students will develop their cultural understanding and appreciation through comparisons of different regions in China as well as between China and the United States of America. By the end of the year, students are expected to be able to engage in basic daily conversation using accurate tones and pronunciation, read simple texts, and write for daily needs. |
Chinese 1 |
Honors Calculus III
Course Number: 118761V/118762V |
In this course, students will pick up where AP Calculus BC left off (with polar, parametric and conic Calculus) and finish the Calculus curriculum of the typical Calculus I, II, and III sequence. The focus of this course is multi-dimensional analysis of figures with an emphasis on vector properties, vector fields, vector analysis, vector valued functions, calculations, and applications of vectors. Additional topics will include cylindrical and spherical coordinates, arc length and curvature, functions of several variables, partial and directional derivatives, gradients, extrema, Lagrange multipliers, multiple integrals, change of variables, surface area, and Stokes' Theorem. |
Calculus BC |
Honors Differential Equations
Course Number:
118771V/118772V |
Differential Equations introduces methods of solving ordinary differential equations, which are used to model and describe a wide range of physical phenomena. Topics included are first order differential equations, higher order differential equations, LaPlace transform methods, systems of differential equations, and applications. Studying differential equations provides students with a versatile and powerful set of tools for understanding, modeling, and solving problems in a wide range of scientific, engineering, and mathematical fields. |
