Center for Talent Development (CTD) Equinox 5 Week Session - AP Chemistry

PREREQUISITE: Chemistry Honors AND Algebra I & II. This course focuses on thermodynamics, thermochemistry, the physical behavior of gases, states and structure of matter, chemical equilibrium and kinetics, and various types of chemical reactions. Daily laboratory work emphasizes competency in solving chemical calculations and problems. In the accelerated format, this rigorous and lab-heavy course requires significant study and dedication. Upon successful completion, students are prepared to take the AP® Chemistry 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.
