Course Offerings

Math Year 1: Enriched Pre-Algebra

This is our entry level math course. Appropriate for students in grades 6 or 7. Having mastery of 6th grade math skills is recommended for this course. Fifth grade students will be considered when previously accelerated and referred by their district. 

Math Year 2: Algebra I/Algebra II

Year two of the PATH math sequence includes courses in Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, completing one course each semester.

These courses cover the standard CCS content but include enrichment work that will allow students to connect book learning to the 鈥渞eal-world.鈥�

Students learn to use graphing calculators as a powerful took to enhance their learning through graphing and programming.

Math Year 3: Geometry/Advanced Mathematics

Year three of the PATH math sequence includes courses in Geometry and Advanced Math.

Students now have strong algebra skills and can apply them to learning important concepts of plane and solid geometry during the first semester. Students learn to formulate mathematical proofs and derive general formulas.

As they conclude their PATH math sequence during the second semester, students move into advanced math topics of pre-calculus.

Study includes functions, trigonometry, polar coordinates, conics, exponential and logarithmic functions, explorations of discrete mathematics, and an introduction to calculus 鈥� integration and differentiation.

Compostion and Literature I and II

PATH Composition and Literature I and II provide a full language arts curriculum. It approaches the language arts through the process of writing, working from a wide range of possible topics to a final draft.

Literature is used to illustrate writing techniques and styles, and emphasis is placed on control of language, including word choice, sentence structure and figures of speech.

A workshop format with peer group evaluations is used to help students improve their writing. Oral communication is emphasized with class discussions and formal presentations.

Life Science

The PATH Life Science curriculum accelerates standards-based learning for 7th and 8th graders, preparing them for high school biology.

The course focuses on achieving a deep understanding of core life science concepts while simultaneously building science literacy and supporting academically talented students. Students develop the ability to critically comprehend scientific text, reason analytically and deductively, and report findings with depth.

Each unit is guided by essential questions and grounded in real-world problems. Students develop scientific models, conduct explorations and investigations using the scientific method, and analyze, interpret and report their subsequent findings, through collaboration with like-minded peers.
