Course Name:  Algebra I
Grade Level:  9
Full Year Course:  1.0 Credit
Prerequisites:  None
Course Description:  Algebra I is a college prep course designed to teach the laws of mathematics and systems of algebraic analysis.  It is a tool that enables God’s people to advance their scientific exploration of God’s wonderful creation. 

Course Title:  Algebra II
Grade Level:  9 -12
Full Year Course:  1.0 Credit
Prerequisite:  Algebra I (C- or better)
Course Description: Algebra II is a one-year course, which includes topics from Euclidean geometry, Algebra, and the fundamental trigonometric ratios.  It is intended to prepare the students for future math courses, chemistry, and physics. 

Course Name:  Geometry
Grade Level:  11/12
Full Year Course:  1.0 Credit
Prerequisites:  Algebra II
Geometry is a comprehensive study of Euclidean geometry intended for the student who is college bound.  It offers a balanced treatment of the different aspects of geometry:  theory and applications; informal and formal reasoning; and symbolic and visual thinking.

Course Name:  GTA I and GTA II     (Geometry/Trigonometry/Algebra III)
Grade Level:  10-12
Full Year Courses:  1.0 Credit each
Prerequisites:  Algebra II (B or better)
Course Description:  This is a comprehensive pre-calculus course spaced over 4 semesters with an incremental development of proof geometry, trigonometry, and advanced algebra.  It is intended for gifted students who desire to continue math studies on the college level.  (4 semesters – 2 credits) 

Course Name:  Calculus
Grade Level:  12
Full Year Course:  1.0 Credit
Prerequisites:  GTA II and/or consent of instructor
Course Description:  This course is designed for prospective math majors as well as for students whose primary interests are in engineering, physics, business, or the life sciences.  It contains an intensive review of the topics from algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry that are necessary for success in calculus and contains an in-depth coverage of all the topics normally taught in the first two semesters of a three-semester calculus sequence.  Applications include approximations by differentials, work, max/min, and solids of revolution problems.  (weighted grade)
