AP Biology

AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes—energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions.

In AP Biology, students will focus on 4 major problems of biology, namely:

The process of evolution and interpretation of diversity and unity of life
Biological systems use free energy and build cubic molecules to develop, reproduce, and maintain stability in the body.
The system of living, restoring, transmitting organisms, and meeting essential information for life
Interaction between biological systems

AP World History

AP World History: Modern is an introductory college-level modern world history course. Students cultivate their understanding of world history from c. 1200 CE to the present through analyzing historical sources and learning to make connections and craft historical arguments as they explore concepts like humans and the environment, cultural developments and interactions, governance, economic systems, social interactions and organization, and technology and innovation.

Course content includes:

The Global Tapestry
Networks of Exchange
Land-based Empires
Transoceanic Interconnection
Revolutions
Consequences of Industrialization
Global Conflict
Cold War & Decolonization
Globalization

AP Chemistry

AP Chemistry is an introductory college-level chemistry course. Students cultivate their understanding of chemistry through inquiry-based lab investigations as they explore the four Big Ideas: scale, proportion, and quantity; structure and properties of substances; transformations; and energy.

There are 6 main concepts in this subject:

Chemical elements are the building blocks of matter through the arrangement of atoms of these elements
The physical and chemical properties of matter can be completely predicted and explained based on the structure, bonding and interaction forces as well as the order of arrangement of atoms, ions and molecules that make up that material
The nature of the change in matter is the reconstruction and / or re-arrangement of atoms and / or electrons.
The determinant of the speed of a chemical reaction is the collision of particles at the molecular size
Thermodynamic laws describe the important role of energy and use it to explain and predict the changing direction of matter.
Links and interactive attraction can be formed that can also be broken. These two opposing processes take place continuously and are influenced by initial conditions as well as external forces or impacts.

AP Computer Science A

AP Computer Science A is an introductory college-level computer science course. Students cultivate their understanding of coding through analyzing, writing, and testing code as they explore concepts like modularity, variables, and control structures.

In this course, students will learn about:

Implementation of the program: Techniques for implementing, building programs, class libraries and Java interfaces in the AP Java subset.
Program analysis: Testing, error correction, time exception, program correctness, algorithm analysis, arithmetic representation of integers.
Standard data structure: primitive data types, strings, classes, lists, arrays.
Standard operation (Operation) and algorithms: Operating on data structures, searching and arranging.

AP Computer Science Principals

AP Computer Science Principles is an introductory college-level computing course.

AP Calculus AB/BC

Calculus will help students develop the ability to understand the definitions of Linear Algebra as well as provide ways to apply and many different methods. At the same time, the course provides a lot of ways to approach issues raised in the form of Graphs, Numbers, or Variables. This subject focuses on the Derivative, Integral, Limits, Approximations, proposed models and applications of that model. The parts are closely related to each other, not discrete parts.

The AP program of Calculus has two courses: Calculus AB and Calculus BC, an extension of Calculus AB. Calculus is the knowledge developed from the Maths knowledge that students have learned in middle and high school. Specifically, students will learn about four main parts:

Functions, graphs and limits
Derivative
Integral
Polynomial approximation and sequence of numbers (BC only)

What is AP?

A program created by CollegeBoard that offers college-level courses and exams to high school students. American universities and colleges then grant course credits to students that obtain qualified score in the exams. The AP courses are divided into 5 areas: languages, sciences, mathematics, social studies, and fine arts.

Why should we take AP?

According to StudyPoints, here are some reasons why you should take AP exam:

You will be challenged academically
