Course Sequencing

Course Sequencing

  • Enroll in Algebra as early as possible so that you are better able to acquire the mathematical skills required for other secondary school courses in the sequences of math and science courses needed for later STEM pursuits.
  • Enroll in Physics, a STEM gateway course, so that you are the better able to acquire the academic skills needed for later STEM pursuits.
  • Choose to enroll in higher level college prep courses. Because advanced level courses cover more material at a more complex level, your STEM preparation will arguably be better if you take honors or  AP chemistry and receive a grade of “C” than if you take a standard-level chemistry course and receive a grade of “A”.
