This course is designed to bolster the knowledge and introduce vocabulary that students will encounter upon entering their biology class in the fall semester. Topics that we will cover include, but are not exclusively limited to:

This course is for students who have completed a year-long Algebra II course and would like to reinforce their math skills in preparation for Precalculus. Each topic in Precalculus follows directly from one in Algebra II, so some time in this course will be spent clearing up difficulties that students might have experienced in Algebra II. Additionally, the initial stages of many topics from Precalculus will be tackled, including equations and their graphs; functions, composition, and inverses; polynomial and rational functions; exponents and logarithms; trigonometry; and probability.

This course is dedicated to preparing students for both SAT Math Section and SAT Math Subject tests. Gain the competitive advantage by learning how to quickly apply secret tips and tricks to solve complex problems. We will review the Algebra and Geometry which form the bedrock of SAT. We You'll practice, practice, and practice with actual collegeboard approved questions to get you the real feel of a SAT test. The purpose of this program is to expose you with the art of tackling multiple-choice questions and teach you valuable strategies for zeroing in on the correct answer choices, targeting the especially tricky concepts and tough questions - all designed to help you reach a great score.

This course is designed to bolster the knowledge and introduce vocabulary that students will encounter upon entering their chemistry class in the fall semester. Topics that we cover include, but are not exclusively limited to, matter, reactions, scientific measurement and its notation, historical discovery and structure of the atom, significance of electrons and chemical bonding, the periodic table and its trends and relevance and an introduction to chemical naming and formulae.

This course is designed to help Upper School-aged students strengthen their academic writing skills by implementing proven techniques. Basic writing exercises will include learning to write a strong thesis statement, create and organize supporting statements, identify and integrate direct textual references, breakdown into manageable pieces the essay writing process, and how to read a teacher's essay prompt. In class, students will read poetry, fiction and non-fiction prose in an effort to better understand various writing styles, write, re-read, revise not only student writing but also the writing of classmates, and learn to read critical essays and secondary sources as a key to writing more clearly.

Algebra II can be a challenging math course for even the brightest budding mathematicians. In Algebra II Prep we will endeavor to give students a head start on many of the most difficult concepts and problem solving methods including (but not limited to) factoring and graphing polynomials, trigonometric functions, finding intercepts, exponential and logarithmic functions, simplifying expressions, and general word problems. Whether you are struggling in math, or love math and want to improve, this is the class for you.

This course is designed for students who are entering the ninth grade this fall and who are taking Geometry. This course will provide students with a solid foundation and exposure to the basic concepts of Geometry, giving them the edge to hit the ground running in the fall. The core of the course will be geometry basics as well as solidifying Algebra I skills that are needed on a regular basis in the study of Geometry.

This course will prepare students for their high school physics course by introducing many of the major concepts they will encounter in a full year course. One of the biggest hurdles for first year physics students is the time it takes to break through many of our misconceptions about the physical world. By the time many students have replaced their incorrect notions about topics like gravity, force, and energy, the instructor is two chapters further into the book. By introducing these topics ahead of time, this course will allow students to work through the material presented in their year long course with the advantage of having seen many concepts before.
