AP® Courses Fusion Academy is now offering in-person students the opportunity to take several Advanced Placement® courses virtually through Fusion Global Academy. These courses are designed to prepare students for college-level work by offering collegelevel curriculum. Students who decide to complete an AP® course, take an AP® test, and achieve a qualifying test score may receive college credit in accordance with individual colleges’ policies.
AP® Art History
Prerequisite: College Prep or Honors World History (Grade B or Higher) Students will explore the interconnections between art, culture, and historical context using critical analysis through the critical lenses of artistic expression, cultural awareness, and purpose. Using a defined art historical skill set and reflective learning, students will analyze relationships across cultures with a global lens. The examination of how people have responded to and communicated their experiences through art will enable students to think conceptually about art ranging from prehistoric to contemporary. Students will be active participants, engaging with art and its context as they read, research, and collaborate to learn about art, artists, art-making, and responses to and interpretations of art. 8762 | 2 Terms | AP® | NCAA, UC | VIRTUAL ONLY | 1-TO-1, SELF-DIRECTED
AP® Biology
Prerequisite: College Prep or Honors Biology and Chemistry (Grades B or Higher); Algebra 1 This course is designed to provide a college-level experience and prepare students for the AP® exam. Students will be provided with a foundation for developing an understanding for biological concepts through scientific inquiry, investigations, interactive experiences, higher-order thinking, real-world applications, writing analytical essays, statistical analysis, interpreting and collecting data. The key big ideas of the AP® Biology course are system interactions, evolution, energetics, information storage, and transmission. Students will participate in a variety of engaging activities that enhance their mastery of biology concepts. 8221 | 2 Terms | AP® | NCAA, UC | VIRTUAL ONLY | 1-TO-1, SELF-DIRECTED
AP® Calculus AB
Prerequisite: Honors Pre-Calculus (Grade B or Higher) or College Prep PreCalculus (Grade A- Minimum) AP® Calculus AB is designed to be the equivalent of a first-term college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The course focuses on students’ understanding of calculus concepts and provides experience with methods and applications. Through the use of big ideas of calculus (e.g., modeling change, approximation and limits, and analysis of functions), each course becomes a cohesive whole, rather than a collection of unrelated topics. Both AP® Calculus courses require students to use definitions and theorems to build arguments and justify conclusions. The courses feature a multi-representational approach to calculus, with concepts, results, and problems expressed graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally.
