Science

Note: These are just recommendations. There are many science courses at Cedar Ridge that become available to students in sophomore year. The full list can be found here.

In freshman year (9th Grade), students should take Adv. Biology (Known to students as Bio), for it is a very easy course, just like Adv. Chemistry.

In sophomore year (10th Grade), students should take Adv. Chemistry (known to students as Chem). Students commonly take AP Physics I alongside Chemistry so they can take AP Physics C junior year, completing the AP Physics pathway in time for college. Students can take on-level Chemistry or Integrated Physics and Chemistry, but this site would not recommend doing this.

In junior year (11th Grade), students can take/continue AP Physics (one of the courses mentioned above), AP Bio, AP Chem, or AP Environmental Science (Known to students as APES) depending on their interests.

In senior year (12th Grade), students can take any of the mentioned junior year courses.
