A year-long independent academic research project culminating in a 4,000–5,000 word paper and an oral defence. The closest experience to undergraduate research available at school
level. Students design their own question, conduct original inquiry, and defend their findings — developing skills that universities genuinely look for.
Advanced German plus cultural fluency across German-speaking Europe — history, politics, philosophy, and contemporary society. German universities are world-renowned for engineering and sciences, and often free for international students. This course opens those doors.
University-level electromagnetism with calculus — electric fields, circuits, magnetism, and electromagnetic induction. The physics underpinning all of electrical engineering and much of modern technology. For the most ambitious physics and engineering students, often taken alongside Mechanics C
Fluids, thermodynamics, electricity, magnetism, and optics — building directly on Physics 1. Covers the physics behind medicine and technology: why MRI machines work, how lenses bend light, and what electricity actually does. A natural follow-on for pre-med and life science students.
Everything in Calculus AB, plus series, sequences, and parametric functions — covering a full year of university calculus. The gold standard for mathematically ambitious students. Signals seriousness to universities and provides a strong foundation for any quantitative field.
The economy as a whole — GDP, inflation, unemployment, central banks, and trade. Students learn why interest rates go up, what a recession actually is, and how governments attempt to manage economies. Possibly the most useful course for understanding every financial news headline.
How the US system actually functions: the Constitution, the three branches, civil rights, elections, and the media’s role. Essential for anyone applying to American universities or interested in how the world’s most influential democracy governs itself — and why it’s so often contested.
