AP® Calculus BC

Girls-Only & ​All-Gender Course; Prerequisite - Completion of one year of Pre-Calculus or Calculus course covering natural logarithms, series / sequences, parametric / polar functions, vectors, and limits; 
​Full-year course 
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The AP® Calculus BC course is a standard course in the calculus of a single variable. The course focuses on the understanding of differential and integral calculus through varied methods and applications. Students learn conceptual reasoning as well as presenting a solution algebraically, geometrically, numerically, or verbally. Students learn not only how to develop a clear understanding of the concepts, but also how to apply them in real-world situations. By the end of the course, students will be able to read and interpret graphical data accurately, use words to explain their reasoning and provide context for final answers, and understand how they best learn online. All topics in the AP® Calculus BC course are covered, as well as additional topics as time permits. Major topics include limits, continuity, derivatives and applications, integrals and applications, first order linear differential equations, inverse trigonometric functions, transcendental functions, infinite series, Taylor polynomials, vectors, parametrically defined functions, and polar coordinates. This personalized course features discussions, reflections, and projects to help students master skills in an engaging way. 
WHAT STUDENTS SAY

"My view of math changed because of this course. I used to view math as completely separate from my other school subjects, but after doing unique activities like writing a haiku about infinity I have realized that it can be connected to other subjects."

“The teacher for this course is amazing! He is always so willing to help out with any concerns I have related to the material. Knowing that I have the ability to clarify any topics with my One Schoolhouse teacher provides me with the reassurance that I need when going through the course syllabus.”

WHAT STUDENTS DO
Learning is an active process at One Schoolhouse. Students design, create and apply. And, they engage with classmates and connect with their teachers through discussions, video conferences, and projects. Specifically, in this class students will:
  • Set goals that drive their learning. Students reflect regularly on their growth, and meet on video chat with their online teacher to review progress towards their goals.
  • Have choice in how they learn new content and practice new skills. Students are given agency to determine the best ways for them to learn.
  • Apply what they are learning to the real world. Learning is meaningful and connects to concepts outside the classroom.
  • Practice constructive engagement in a diverse and changing world. Students interact with classmates from across the country and around the world.
  • Gain academic maturity. Online learning takes greater discipline and independence than a traditional face-to-face classroom. Teachers support students to build this skill.

SIGNATURE ACTIVITIES
Examples of signature activities and projects for this course are:
  • Students will learn primarily through practice and exploration.  This includes traditional practice problems as well as guided work with Geogebra.
  • Students will apply their skills to events in their world, determining models to actual situations and sharing their findings with classmates.
  • Students will assess their learning through summative and formative assessment, including oral quizzes, partnered quizzes, and self-designed questions.
COURSE APPROVAL
This course is approved by the College Board and the NCAA. 

One Schoolhouse is fully accredited with the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges through December 1, 2025; we are an approved online publisher for the University of California.
