Integrated Math 3: Algebra, Geometry, and Data Science
Integrated Math 3 students continue to expand their algebraic reasoning and understanding of mathematical models including complex numbers, exponential equations, and polynomials. Students also explore sampling and build upon their knowledge of solid geometry and circle theorems while building connections between all topics covered.
Prerequisites: Integrated Math 2. Offered at the Honors and Standard levels. Honors level requires departmental recommendation.
Global History III: World History
Empires, Colonization, Resistance and Independence (Required)
Empires have shaped the political and cultural landscape of the world. They are the embodiment of power in policy and practice. How did they first form, and how have they evolved? Who are the people across history who have stood up to these colonizing giants? How did these leaders create movements that reimagined their world in the shadow of empires? And what are the legacies of colonization and imperialism that continue to manifest in our everyday lives?
Juniors are encouraged to take a second term of history and can choose from any of the available History electives.
Global History II: U.S. & World History
From Power to Superpower (Required)
From the Spanish-American War to the end of World War II, this course will explore the evolution of the U.S. as a global superpower, its territorial expansion, its foreign policy, and its involvement in different wars and conflicts. We will examine how governments garner popular support for military and humanitarian interventions abroad and how the outcomes of these actions have affected and been affected by political decision-making and geopolitical interests.
A Time for Change
This course provides students with a bird's eye view of American society through the lens of significant events in the 20th and 21st centuries that have affected and continue to challenge the nation and the world. Students will explore multiple narratives and experiences of different groups in America throughout the past century, considering why some stories are told instead of others. Students will explore themes of change and evolution in politics (role of government, gender, race), culture (music and art), economics, and technology and examine how the U.S. developed as the nation it is today.
Global History I: U.S. History
Nation and Nationalism
From the beginning, the identity and values of the U.S. nation were complex. This course looks closely at the distance between the ideals embedded in our founding documents and the lived realities of people’s lives, past and present. Students will explore how these living documents - the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence - shape our modern political and social landscape today by understanding their historical context. How has the US Constitution been interpreted and by whom? Who were the voices for progress, and how did they define that progress?
The Age of Reforms
With a focus on Reconstruction and the Suffragists movement and the pivotal amendments that arose from that time, this course examines the root causes of the political, social, economic, and cultural reform movements to expand the right to vote in the United States. Using multiple perspectives and sources, students will investigate the people who and movements that expanded - and at times limited - definitions of US citizenship and access to the voting ballot.
