AP Computer Science A Online

This course is equivalent to the first semester of a college level computer science course. The course involves developing the skills to write programs or part of programs to correctly solve specific problems. The course also emphasizes the design issues that make programs understandable, adaptable, and when appropriate, reusable. The AP Computer Science A (AP CSA) course is complementary to AP Computer Science principles (AP CSP). While AP CSA focuses primarily on the technical aspects of Java programming in software development, AP CSP uses programming in Python to solve a wide range of real-world problems and explore the underlying principles of computation across other disciplines. Students are strongly recommended to study on average about 10 hours per week.

AP Computer Science Principles Online

This course introduces students to the essential concepts of computer science and challenges them to discover how computers and ICT impact the world around us. The main topics include: programming, abstractions, algorithms, large data sets, the Internet, cyber security, and the impact of computing on our everyday life.  The AP Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course is complementary to AP Computer Science A. The AP CSP course is often taken by future IT professionals who want to build a solid understanding of the given field. Furthermore, AP CSP attracts students interested in a wide range of subjects, ranging from science and mathematics to medicine, journalism or even art, who would like to acquire a competitive edge by understanding computer science and the way it relates to their particular field as well as to the real world in general. Students are strongly recommended to study on average about 8 hours per week.
