Math & Computer Science

What is AP Math & Computer Science?

AP Math & Computer Science courses are rigorous, college-level programs by the College Board, designed for Grades 6–12 students to build quantitative reasoning, coding, and computational thinking skills. These courses align with U.S. high school graduation requirements, carry weighted GPA credits, and are core prerequisites for STEM, business, and engineering majors.

Students typically begin in Grade 9 with foundational courses (Algebra I, Geometry) before progressing to Precalculus, AP Calculus AB/BC, AP Statistics, AP Computer Science A, and AP Computer Science Principles. Courses are structured to bridge high school math to university-level calculus, data science, and software development, adapted for AIA’s global student body.

PROGRESSION

AP Math & Computer Science courses progress to undergraduate computer science, engineering, data science, finance, and mathematics programs. Qualifying AP scores (3+) grant college credit, advanced placement in calculus/CS courses, and exemption from introductory college math requirements at most U.S. universities.

ENROLLMENT OPTIONS

Courses are available as full-time or part-time options, with flexible pacing for AIA students. Students may combine foundational high school math with AP-level courses, and follow a sequential progression (e.g., Algebra → Precalculus → AP Calculus) or take standalone AP CS courses for non-STEM majors.

EXAM

AP Calculus AB/BC: 3 hours 15 minutes total. Section 1: 1-hour 45-minute multiple-choice (45 questions, 50% of score). Section 2: 1-hour 30-minute free-response (6 questions, 50% of score), externally assessed annually in May.

AP Computer Science A: 3 hours total. Section 1: 1-hour 30-minute multiple-choice (40 questions, 50% of score). Section 2: 1-hour 30-minute free-response (4 coding questions, 50% of score), externally assessed annually in May.

AP Statistics: 3 hours total. Section 1: 90-minute multiple-choice (40 questions, 50% of score). Section 2: 90-minute free-response (6 questions, 50% of score), externally assessed annually in May.

BASIS OF WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN MATH

The course gives you the opportunity to build quantitative reasoning skills within the context of your general high school education. You will study algebra I/II, geometry, precalculus, consumer mathematics, financial mathematics, statistics, AP calculus AB/BC, and AP statistics. Students will learn about unifying mathematical patterns and apply them to real-world problems in business, engineering, and data science. They will acquire knowledge and understanding of mathematical facts, terminology, concepts, principles, and analytical techniques, with weighted AP credits to boost GPA for college admission.
