SUMMER 2026
AP PreCalc Summer Prep
AP Pre-Calculus moves fast, and students who fall behind early often spend the entire year trying to catch up.
This course helps students walk into AP Pre-Calculus with confidence, not uncertainty. We strengthen the algebra foundations the course is built on while introducing the key concepts they’ll see early in the year. Instead of starting behind, students begin prepared, confident, and ready to succeed.
Limited to 6 students

COURSE OVERVIEW
A Stronger Start to Calculus
Our AP Pre-Calculus Homework Club is a 7 week support program during the summer designed to help students stay on top of one of the most challenging math courses in high school. This program gives students consistent weekly support as they work through AP Pre-Calculus, helping them better understand class content, complete homework with confidence, and prepare for quizzes, tests, and the AP exam throughout the year.
Rather than waiting until students fall behind, this summer course provides a steady system of support that helps them keep pace with the class from the very beginning. In each session, we will work through a new concept, do lots of practice, and then assign indidual practice for outside of the session. We also focus on helping students become more confident, independent learners by reinforcing strong study habits, organization, and academic persistence.
This is a great fit for students who want ongoing support in AP Pre-Calculus, whether they are struggling with the pace of the course, aiming to protect a strong grade, or simply wanting a consistent place to ask questions and deepen their understanding each week.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Why a Summer Head Start Matters
Calculus moves quickly, and students often have very little time to adjust once the school year begins. Those early weeks can set the tone for the entire course. Students who begin the year with stronger foundations, more familiarity with the material, and greater confidence are in a much better position to participate, keep up, and succeed from the start.
This course is designed to reduce that uncertainty by helping students enter Calculus with a clearer understanding of what to expect and a stronger command of the skills they will need right away.
