Center for Talent Development (CTD) Equinox Session 1 - AP Computer Science A

PREREQUISITES: Algebra I & II AND demonstrated experience in one programming language. Java is used in industries ranging from retail to finance and medicine. Learn to program in Java using keywords, operators and data types to develop solutions to problems, and subsequently to code and compile programs, as well as to compose command line programs, basic graphics and simple games. Prior experience with Java is not required, but you must have previous programming or computer language experience. This course prepares students for the AP® Computer Science exam. Students enrolling in Equinox must meet the minimum test score requirements as listed in the course descriptions. The preferred documentation is an above-grade-level test score (ACT® or SAT® test taken in grades 7 through 9) taken within 2 years of application. Students who do not have above-level test scores, but do have ACT®, SAT®, PreACT, or PSAT/NMSQT scores from tests taken in the 10th or 11th grade year may also apply as long as the scores meet the stated on-level requirement for the desired course. Students who do not have test scores to submit as part of their application, or whose scores do not meet the minimum requirement may still apply to the Equinox program with an Admission Portfolio application, which includes: copy of test scores if available, teacher recommendation, and transcript. Scholarships and need-based financial aid are available with the completion of an additional financial aid application, due 4/15/18. After 5/14/18, cost of tuition increases.
