Topics include definitions axioms, postulates, angle and line relationships, properties of parallel lines, congruence theory, triangles, Euclid’s proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, circles, perimeter and area of plane figures, surface area and volume of solids, the Platonic solids, similarity, ratio, proportion, geometric constructions and algebraic applications. This course spends a great deal of time on geometrical proofs, both direct and indirect. A straightedge and compass are required.Prerequisites: successful completion of Algebra I or Intermediate Algebra – Placement by Math Department
This course is divided into 2 parts. Part I is a study of the elementary functions – polynomial, rational, linear, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric – and rates of change – with an eye towards calculus ahead. Topics are examined according to the Rule of 4: (1) graphically (2) numerically (3) analytically (4) verbally. Part II is a beginning study of the calculus of a single variable. Topics include limits, continuity, derivatives, and anti-derivatives. The use of technology is an important part of this course. A TI-83+ or TI-84 graphics calculator is required.
Prerequisites: placement by the Math department (completion of Algebra 3/Trig)
宗教研究：宗教I/II/III/IV
現代語言：西班牙語，法語，德語
The course aims to reinforce the importance of second language acquisition through a variety of motivating activities and build upon skills acquired in Advanced Spanish I. The curriculum includes all grammatical elements of Spanish 2 and 3, building on grammar, vocabulary and accurate pronunciation. There is a heightened emphasis on understanding authentic resources and using these resources for written and oral communication. Oral communication skills continue to be developed through pair and group work. An audio and DVD program and numerous culturally authentic materials are used to supplement the textbook.
自然科學：物理、化學、生物、解剖生理學
Physics is an introductory course that surveys all of the core concepts of physics while minimizing the calculation-intensive areas of the field. This course covers topics such as motion, force, energy, momentum, heat, nuclear and astrophysics. Concepts are reinforced through real-world estimations and topical essays. The laboratory component of the course emphasizes conceptual understanding rather than detailed analysis. There are no prerequisites for this course; however, students must have a working knowledge of algebra and geometry.
AP Biology is a freshman-level college course in introductory life sciences, which will prepare the student for the AP Biology exam. The course covers all the topics introduced in the Honors Biology course, but in a more in-depth manner. The curriculum includes: structure and function of plants and animals, molecular biology, cytology, evolutionary biology, ecology, taxonomy and phylogeny. AP Biology meets for 1 ½ periods every day. Prerequisites for this course are HonorsBiology or Biology and Chemistry, application and departmental acceptance are required.
社會研究：美國歷史、政治、西方文化、世界史、總量經濟學、個體經濟學、統計學
AP課程：工作室藝術1/2、樂理、拉丁IV/V，語言寫作、文學寫作、微積分AB、微積分BC、多元微積分、統計、計算機科學、西班牙語、法語、法國文學、德語、物理、化學、生物、經濟學、美國政治、美國比較政府、統計、現代歐洲史、藝術史、美國歷史、世界史。
榮譽課程：物理、生物、化學、西班牙語
This course emphasizes aspects of music, such as harmony; more often, however, it integrates aspects of melody, harmony, texture, rhythm, form, musical analysis, elementary composition, and to some extent, history and style. Musicianship skills such as dictation and other listening skills, sight-singing, and keyboard harmony are considered an important part as well. The student's ability to read and write musical notation is fundamental to such a course. It is also assumed that the student has acquired (or is acquiring) at least basic performance skills in voice or on an instrument. The ultimate goal of an AP Music Theory course is to develop a student's ability to recognize, understand, and describe the basic materials and processes of music that are heard or presented in a score. The achievement of these goals may best be approached by initially addressing fundamental aural, analytical, and compositional skills using both listening and written exercises. Building on this foundation, the course should progress to include more creative tasks, such as the harmonization of a melody by selecting appropriate chords, composing a musical bass line to provide two-voice counterpoint, or the realization of figured-bass notation. Students will sit for the AP exam in May.
體育項目：足球、籃球、網球、越野、滑冰、擊劍、長曲棍球、橄欖球、冰球、棒球、高爾夫球、田徑、游泳等
學校生活
該校是一個歷史悠久的寄宿制男校，學術氣氛濃厚，培養了不少美國政界的傑出人才。對於來自國內的學生招收很少 (約為大陸地區每年5人左右），每年畢業生數量通常為120人左右。每年約有7名左右的畢業生升入位於華盛頓特區的喬治城大學（綜合排名20左右，國際關係學院為全美第三四名）。該校地理位置優越，交通方便，如果學生能夠全面發展取得不錯的成績，會有很多的機遇去實現自己的夢想。
