The program emphasizes project-based learning and is accredited by Cognia, with courses approved by the College Board and for University of California A-G credits.
The 2Sigma School AP Computer Science A course is an introductory college-level program focusing on object-oriented programming and design using Java. Students will engage in project-based learning, tackling programming challenges and mini-labs to build a strong foundation in computer science. The curriculum covers essential topics such as problem-solving, data structures (including arrays and ArrayLists), algorithms (like searching and sorting), and ethical computing. Students will learn to design and develop algorithms, write Java code, test and analyze for correctness, and document program behavior. The course also delves into advanced concepts like inheritance and recursion. By the end of the program, students will have completed multiple programming projects, preparing them for the AP CSA exam and further studies in computer science.
A typical day involves live instruction sessions, working on programming challenges and mini-labs, and engaging with instructors for clarifications during office hours.
This course is ideal for high school students interested in software development and engineering who want to earn high school and transferable college credits.
