Computer Science

The Computer Science department is led by two individuals with over 45 years of combined experience in the computer and financial services industries (IBM and Goldman Sachs), as well as over 20 years of combined teaching experience.

Goal:

To provide an academic foundation in Computer Science that enhances critical thinking, analytical, and programming skills.

Curriculum Overview:

Middle School students explore a variety of programming environments and gain a foundation in Computer Science. Key topic areas include an introduction to Computer Science and key computing concepts, creating code to animate virtual objects, and exploring artificial intelligence (AI). Students learn how to engage with hand-held devices and employ programming concepts.

High School students may take part in our three-year programming progression which focuses on the foundational elements of programming. High school students learn object-oriented programming languages like Microsoft Visual Basic, Python, and JAVA.

Aside from programming, high school students may select the Computer Applications course, which focuses on developing essential productivity skills in word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations.
