Advanced Placement exam, and the applications students will learn software for
use now and in the future.
Level One- In-depth
analysis of concepts and demanding in content. The curricula developed using
application software provide a solid understanding of particular software. The
programming courses provide preparation for success in college computer science
programs, college engineering programs, and business software development.
Level 2 - An
analysis of computer concepts and exposure to typical problems solved by the
computer at work, in high school, and in college. The curricula developed using
application software provide an understanding of the particular software as it
is related to mathematical and scientific problems. The programming courses
provide preparation for success in college computer science programs, college
engineering programs, and business software development.
Vocational - Preparation
for occupations available after high school utilizing the computer.
