综合课程指南

A student-friendly guide to AP offerings, prerequisites, and planning notes across Irvine high schools.

面向学生的尔湾高中 AP 课程、先修要求和选课规划指南。

It is often important to understand what classes are offered at your school. Planning ahead helps students choose courses that fit their interests, strengths, graduation requirements, and college goals.了解您的学校提供​​哪些课程通常很重要。提前规划可以帮助学生选择适合自己兴趣、优势、毕业要求和大学目标的课程。

This guide summarizes AP classes offered at the five IUSD comprehensive public high schools: Portola, Northwood, University, Woodbridge, and Irvine High. It includes general prerequisites, course content, and planning comments where available.本指南总结了五所 IUSD 综合公立高中提供的 AP 课程:Portola、Northwood、University、Woodbridge 和 Irvine High。它包括一般先决条件、课程内容和计划评论(如果有)。

Mathematics数学

IUSD high schools generally follow the same secondary math pathway. Students typically progress through Math I, Math II, Math III or Enhanced Math II, then AP Precalculus, AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics, or other advanced options depending on placement and readiness. Advancement can depend on semester grades, End-of-Course exam results, teacher recommendation, and, in some cases, completion of the High School Summer Bridge course.IUSD 高中通常遵循相同的中学数学路径。学生通常会先学习数学 I、数学 II、数学 III 或增强数学 II,然后根据分班情况和准备情况学习 AP 初级微积分、AP 微积分 AB/BC、AP 统计学或其他高级选项。升读可能取决于学期成绩、课程结束考试成绩、教师推荐,在某些情况下还取决于高中暑期桥梁课程的完成情况。

Because math placement is highly pathway-dependent, students should verify their individual eligibility with their current math teacher and counselor. The course summaries below describe common planning expectations but do not replace official placement decisions.由于数学安置高度依赖于衔接课程,学生应向当前的数学老师和辅导员核实其个人资格。下面的课程摘要描述了常见的规划期望,但不能取代官方的安置决定。

Social Science社会科学

Most social science courses offered across IUSD schools have no prerequisites or grade requirements (although some schools may provide recommendations to facilitate success, teachers and counselors do not have the authority to prevent students from enrolling in these courses). However, some of these courses are challenging, particularly for English learners. Therefore, we recommend that students consult with their counselors and relevant subject-area teachers before enrolling in AP social science courses.IUSD 学校提供的大多数社会科学课程没有先决条件或成绩要求(尽管有些学校可能会提供促进成功的建议,但教师和辅导员无权阻止学生注册这些课程)。然而,其中一些课程具有挑战性,特别是对于英语学习者而言。因此,我们建议学生在报名参加AP社会科学课程之前咨询他们的辅导员和相关学科领域的老师。
