Computer Science 9 (CS9) uses a text-based coding environment (Replit) and is best for students with solid abstract thinking skills and familiarity with the concept of variables. This course introduces the fundamentals of the python programming language, including functions, conditional execution, iteration, recursion, and object orientation. The course also introduces principles of good program design and algorithmic problem solving. Students put their new skills to use by building a project of their own from the ground up

Explorations in Coding I (EC1) uses a block-to-text coding environment (Codesters) that allows students to immediately visualize the code they are writing. It is a class for technology generalists who want to learn to problem solve using computer science principles. This course introduces the fundamentals of the Python programming language, including variables, loops, and conditional execution. Students will write code for 13 small programs by the end of the course.

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 13- August 5, 2022

(the first day must be completed prior to June 24, 2022)

Grade: 9

Fee: $2100.00

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 24, 2022.  Students may complete the remainder of the course at their own pace, with completion of the final unit exam occurring on or before August 5th.  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.

This project-based, online course provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the field of graphic design and the fundamental principles of visual communication. Students learn key concepts such as typography, layout, and visual problem solving. This class fosters interdisciplinary skills that translate into the fields of media studies and business enterprises, as well as preparing students for further graphic design studies. Students will create a portfolio of work, which demonstrates skills in design language and literacy, as related to their area of interest. This course may be taken online in the summer before 9th grade.
