Course Description
AP® Computer Science Principles is a college-level course that sets the foundation for learning the concepts and challenges of computer science and its impacts on society. Students will stretch their creativity and problem-solving skills to build solutions for the issues they find important. They will learn how to design, develop, and evaluate computer programs using algorithms and the JavaScript programming language. Students will practice analyzing data and simulations to extract knowledge from information. While exploring computing innovations and the internet, they will uncover the benefits and risks of their digital world and how to help their community through technology. AP Computer Science Principles is equivalent to a first-semester, college-level breadth course in computer science.

Students will be responsible for understanding the requirements and deadlines of the AP® Computer Science Principles Performance Task as outlined on College Board’s website. They will be responsible for creating, gathering, and submitting their completed performance task with the help of their AP® Coordinator at their home school.

Windows or Mac Operating System required.

This course does not include registration for the AP® Exam Offering. Students planning to take the AP exam are required to register and sit locally for the AP® Exam.
