Explorations in Coding I is for computer science generalists. It covers the foundational concepts and skills of computer science. The course is designed to be fun, engaging, relevant, collaborative, and creative - and help demonstrate that all students can be successful in computer science. Students will build their understanding of core computing concepts through interactive project-based coding practices using a unique drag-to-text toolkit that helps students gain familiarity with Python syntax and commands. Additional online and offline activities will challenge students to problem solve and think critically. This course may be taken online, in the summer before 9th grade.

Instructors will often be in contact with online students through email, MyViewpoint and video conferencing.

Grades: 10-11

Fee: $2000.00

This class is worth One Year Credit. Viewpoint students must complete a Summer School Authorization Form. Non-Viewpoint students do not need to see this form.

In this online course students study geometric structure employing both inductive and deductive reasoning. Reasoning and proof are emphasized throughout the year as students learn about congruence, similarity, and measurement of both plane and solid figures. Students employ the skills that they learned in Algebra I to find unknown angle measures, areas, volumes and distance, and to solve right triangles using trigonometric ratios. With the objective of understanding structure, students explore transformations on the coordinate plane focusing upon both congruence and similarity of figures.  This course is open to non-Viewpoint students. For Viewpoint students, admission to Geometry is by permission of the Math Department.

Prerequisite: completion of Algebra I and Departmental approval for Viewpoint students.

Dates: June 15 - August 6, 2021

Times: TBD

Grades: 9

Fee: $2000.00

This course is worth One Year Credit. Viewpoint students currently in Algebra I Honors are eligible for this class and must complete a Summer School Authorization Form. Non-Viewpoint students do not need to see this form. SCHEDULE 6 HOURS WITH INSTRUCTOR AT THE START OF THE COURSE.

This challenging blended online course stresses the development of a system of logic based on deductive reasoning. It is designed for students who have excelled in a rigorous Algebra I course, and who can work and think independently, deriving new ideas and concepts from previously learned skills. Students learn definitions and postulates, prove theorems, and build the system of geometry. They also gain the ability to analyze a problem, to hypothesize a conclusion, and then to write a logical, two-column formal proof. The class also includes the study of angle relationships of parallel and perpendicular lines; similarity and congruence of polygons; circles, arcs, and associated angles; coordinate geometry; and area and volume. This course is open to non-Viewpoint students. For Viewpoint students, admission to Geometry Honors is by permission of the Math Department.

Prerequisite: Viewpoint students must have successful completion of Algebra I Honors and permission of the Math Department.

The start date of the course is flexible, as long as 6 hours of instruction with the course instructor takes place prior to June 25, 2021.  Students may complete the remainder of the course at their own pace, with completion of the final unit exam occurring on or before August 6th.  This course is self-paced and has been designed to be completed in a 6-week time frame.  Students may choose to complete the course in as few as 5 weeks or as many as 8 weeks.
