Courses
Accounting
This course is a continuation of Introduction to Accounting. A merchandising partnership will be followed for a fiscal period. Payroll procedures through 941 Forms will be covered. There will be increased emphasis on automated procedures and analytical skills. Students will “cap-off” the course with a computerized job simulation. One (1.0) math credit can be earned upon successful completion of two semesters of Accounting.
(semester) 0.5 unit
Prerequisite: Introduction to Accounting.

AP Calculus
This is a course in the study of calculus in preparation for mathematics at the college level. Students will study the topics of functions, limits, derivatives and integration. The concepts of differentiation and integration will enable students to solve problems of related rates, maximum-minimum, velocity, acceleration and volume. Students will be given the opportunity to take the C.E.E.B Advanced Placement test for college credit. A graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisite: Pre-Calculus.

CP Advanced Mathematics
This course is designed for students who plan to take Pre-Calculus at the high school or college level. The course content is linked to the “Pacesetter” math curriculum, a nationally designed curriculum initiated by The College Board. The students will explore and learn topics that include: linear functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, polynomial and rational fractions, trigonometric functions, and mathematical modeling with matrices. Students will be required to work on projects both individually and in small groups. A graphing calculator is required.
Prerequisite: Integrated Math Course 3.

Intro to Accounting
Since Accounting is considered the “language of business” this course is important in preparing students for a variety of careers. Students will follow the fiscal period of a proprietorship with the emphasis placed on the ability to analyze monetary business transactions. Both manual and automated accounting procedures will be introduced. Students planning to enter the work force after graduation and students planning to go to college will find this course helpful.
