1 Kingsway Regional School District S.T.E.M. Preparatory Academy S.T.E.M. Academy Course Overview - Class of 2019 The STEM Preparatory Academy at Kingsway Regional High School is a rigorous four-year interdisciplinary program designed to provide a strong educational foundation for academically gifted students planning to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics. Students enrolled in this program should be prepared for exceptionally challenging coursework and a variety of educational opportunities. Successful completion of the full program allows students to graduate with up to 16 college credits and a strong foundation in S.T.E.M. related concepts. Depending upon interests and goals, students may select to concentrate their focus on biology, chemistry, engineering or visual/performing arts.* The program is divided into two phases: two years of interdisciplinary education requirements, and two years of advanced programming aligned with S.T.E.M. college programming. Students may apply for acceptance into the program at the end of their 8 th grade year. Prior academic achievement, standardized testing data, and middle school teacher input will be significant components in the selection process. Biology Concentration: AP Course Credit, RCGC Course Credits Chemistry Concentration: AP Course Credit, RCGC Course Credits Engineering Concentration: AP Course Credit, RCGC Course Credits Visual/Performing Arts Concentration: AP Course Credit, RCGC Course Credits The tables below represent sample schedules for those students interested in entering the S.T.E.M. Academy. Phase I (Biology, Chemistry, Engineering) Required courses during Interdisciplinary Education Phase Freshmen Year Sophomore Year - Honors English I - Honors Geometry - Honors Algebra-based Physics - Honors World History - Economics (1/2 year) - Career Exploration I (1/2 year) - PE/Health 9 - Honors Algebra II* - Honors English II - Honors Trigonometry/Pre-calculus or Honors Algebra II - Honors Chemistry - AP or Honors US History I - AP Physics I - AP Physics Lab - PE/Health 10 *It is strongly recommended that students enroll in both Honors Geometry and Honors Algebra II during their freshmen year so that they may be able to enroll in AP Calculus BC during Phase II of the program. If students choose not to enroll in both math courses, they may substitute Honors Algebra II with an approved elective.
2 Phase II Chemistry -AP Calculus AB or Honors Trig/Pre-calculus - Honors Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry* - 21 st Century Graduation Requirement -AP Chemistry -Art Elective or World Language 16 college credits.

4 Chemistry Concentration Description: Phase II Chemistry -AP Calculus AB or Honors Trig/Pre-calculus - Honors Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry* - 21 st Century Graduation Requirement -AP Chemistry -Art Elective or World Language 16 college credits. Required: Introductory Art Course (if not taken ), Computer Programming Course; Recommended: Introductory Biology Course, AP Calculus BC, World Language *Chemistry concentration elective: Honors Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry* not they will proceed into Phase II of the STEM Academy. Once in phase II of the chemistry concentration, students will take the designated courses for Junior year. : If you look at the, the math says AP Calculus AB or Honors Trigonometry/Pre-calculus. The reason for this is because some students may be at the point where they can take AP Calculus while others will be ready for Honors Trigonometry/Pre-calculus. This will depend on whether or not they doubled up in math their freshmen year. As you will see, students also have the option of taking either an Art elective (which will satisfy a graduation requirement) or a World Language (which may be a requirement for a specific school they are thinking of attending). Most schools require two years of a World Language. Some Ivy League institutions require four years of a language. If students choose to take a World Language instead of Art, they will need to fulfill this graduation requirement either at RCGC (if they choose the early release option) or at Kingsway if they decide to stay the full day at the school. It is essential that STEM students meet with their counselor before scheduling for senior year to ensure they have satisfied all graduation requirements and are signed up for the appropriate STEM courses. : Students are not required to leave campus for RCGC during their senior year. They can continue to engage in a full-day schedule here at Kingsway if they wish. Students may be required to take Introductory Art and Computer Programming at RCGC in order to fulfill their final graduation requirements. If they choose to stay on Kingsway s campus, they can pick similar courses here that will fulfill these graduation requirements as well.
5 Biology Concentration Description: Phase II Biology - AP Calculus AB or Honors Trig/Pre-calculus - AP Biology - AP Calculus Lab (or Graduation Elective) - AP Lab - Honors Anatomy and Physiology - Art Elective or World Language 16 college credits. Required: Computer Programming Course, Introductory Biology (if AP Biology not taken ), Introductory Art Course (if not taken ); Recommended: Introductory Chemistry Course, AP Calculus BC; World Language *Biology concentration elective: Honors Anatomy and Physiology* not they will proceed into Phase II of the STEM Academy. Once in phase II of the biology concentration, students will take the designated courses for Junior year. : If you look at the, the math says AP Calculus AB or Honors Trigonometry/Pre-calculus. The reason for this is because some students may be at the point where they can take AP Calculus while others will be ready for Honors Trigonometry/Pre-calculus. This will depend on whether or not they doubled up in math their freshmen year. If students take Honors Trigonometry/Pre-calculus, they will not need an AP lab for Calculus, so this time slot can be filled with a graduation elective. As you will see, students also have the option of taking either an Art elective (which will satisfy a graduation requirement) or a World Language (which may be a requirement for a specific school they are thinking of attending). Most schools require two years of a World Language. Some Ivy League institutions require four years of a language. If students choose to take a World Language instead of Art, they will need to fulfill this graduation requirement either at RCGC (if they choose the early release option) or at Kingsway if they decide to stay the full day at the school. It is essential that STEM students meet with their counselor before scheduling for senior year to ensure they have satisfied all graduation requirements and are signed up for the appropriate STEM courses. : Students are not required to leave campus for RCGC during their senior year. They can continue to engage in a full-day schedule here at Kingsway if they wish.

Most schools require two years of a World Language. Some Ivy League institutions require four years of a language. If students choose to take a World Language instead of AP US History II, they will need to fulfill this graduation requirement either at RCGC (if they choose the early release option) or at Kingsway if they decide to stay the full day at the school. It is essential that STEM students meet with their counselor before scheduling for senior year to ensure they have satisfied all graduation requirements and are signed up for the appropriate STEM courses. : Students are not required to leave campus for RCGC during their senior year. They can continue to engage in a full-day schedule here at Kingsway if they wish. Students must either take the required courses of Introductory Art and Computer Programming in order to fulfill their final graduation requirements.

Most schools require two years of a World Language. Some Ivy League institutions require four years of a language. If students choose to take a World Language instead of US History II, they will need to fulfill this graduation requirement either at RCGC (if they choose the early release option) or at Kingsway if they decide to stay the full day at the school during senior year. It is essential that STEM students meet with their counselor before scheduling for senior year to ensure they have satisfied all graduation requirements and are signed up for the appropriate STEM courses. : Students are not required to leave campus for RCGC during their senior year. They can continue to engage in a full-day schedule here at Kingsway if they wish. Students attending RCGC are strongly recommended to take introductory science courses or other STEM-related classes that will help to prepare them for a college-level education.
