Course Selection Guide 2022-2023

Dear Parents and Students,

We are pleased to provide you with this comprehensive curriculum guide for Coral Springs Charter School. For the 2022-2023 school year, new courses have been included in this guide. Please be reminded that the

implementation of any course is dependent on sufficient enrollment numbers. As a charter school, you will find we offer a wide range of courses that lead to a high school diploma in preparation for college and/or future career decisions. Students are encouraged to talk with parents, teachers and guidance counselors to assist in making their course selections. Our guidance counselors work individually with each child to ensure progress toward graduation and to discuss post-secondary options and plans to reach each child’s goals.

Coral Springs Charter’s Cambridge Advanced Program of Study will now be in its eleventh year with many exciting courses and opportunities. The Cambridge Advanced Program of Study is an internationally-recognized, pre- university curriculum which offers a rigorous and relevant program of study and is sponsored by the Cambridge University in England. The Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Diploma is based on an international curriculum and examination system that emphasizes the value of broad and balanced study.

Alongside in-depth understanding of a variety of subjects, students also need to master a broader range of skills critical for success in university study and employment. More information is available at:

http://www.cie.org.uk/countries/usa.

Another unique program that is offered to high school students at Coral Springs Charter is the Academic and Career Excellence Academy (ACE). The ACE Academy is designed to provide students with courses that will

emphasize concepts and principles related to the areas of business, leadership, technology and general education.

We emphasize students enrolling in specific consecutive courses aimed at industry certification and possible scholarships. Selected students from the ACE Academy will have the opportunity to complete an executive internship and capstone project during their senior year of high school.

All courses offered at Coral Springs Charter School meet the established requirements set by the School Board of Broward County. I encourage you to carefully review the guide as you select your courses for the 2022-2023 school year.

Sincerely, Gary Springer Principal

Course Selection Guide 2022-2023 CHANGES FOR 2022-2023

Beginning with the 2022-23 school year, all students on track to graduate in 2025 and thereafter are required to take a Personal Financial Literacy course. All 10^th graders at CSCS will automatically be enrolled in a one semester/

half credit online course on Edgenuity. This course consists of the following content area and literacy strands:

Economics, Financial Literacy, Mathematics, Languages Arts for Literacy in History/Social Studies and Speaking and Listening. Basic economic concepts of scarcity, choice, opportunity cost, and cost/benefit analysis are interwoven throughout the standards and objectives. Emphasis will be placed on economic decision-making and real-life applications using real data.

The primary content for the course pertains to the study of learning the ideas, concepts, knowledge and skills that will enable students to implement beneficial personal decision-making choices; to become wise, successful, and knowledgeable consumers, savers, investors, users of credit and money managers; and to be participating members of a global workforce and society.

Content should include, but not be limited to:

• cost/benefit analysis of economic decisions

• earning an income

• understanding state and federal taxes

• utilizing banking and financial services

• balancing a checkbook and managing a bank account

• savings, investment and planning for retirement

• understanding loans and borrowing money, including predatory lending and payday loans

• understanding interest, credit card debt and online commerce

• how to prevent identify fraud and theft

• rights and responsibilities of renting or buying a home

• understanding and planning for major financial purchases

• understanding the costs and benefits of insurance

• understanding the financial impact and consequence of gambling

• avoiding and filing bankruptcy

• reducing tax liability.

Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Advanced courses require a greater demand on students through increased academic rigor. Academic rigor is obtained through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted. Students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning. Honors level rigor will be achieved by increasing text complexity through text selection, focus on high-level qualitative measures, and complexity of task. Instruction will be structured to give students a deeper understanding of conceptual themes and organization within and across disciplines. Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work.

Programs of Study

AICE Diploma

What is AICE?

The Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) is an international diploma that students can earn via an advanced academic curriculum and assessment program written and administered by a non- profit department (CIE) of the University of Cambridge in England. AICE program courses and examinations may be offered during grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 in worldwide schools registered as CIE Centers. Please note that AICE Diploma candidates must complete their exams within a three-year period.

1. What are the benefits of AICE?

AICE advanced level courses are equivalent to those of Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB). Furthermore, graduating with the AICE Diploma makes students more competitive in the college application process. Passing a number of AICE exam can lead to advanced standing (a maximum of 45 college credits) at the college level.

2. What is meant by AICE Graduation Option?

The Florida Legislature has determined that the AICE Curriculum is a graduation option for students beginning with the graduating class of 2011. Students must remain AICE students in good standing and complete all of the AICE Curriculum requirements to utilize this option. Students failing to meet the curriculum requirements are subject to all standard graduation requirements. For example, AICE Diploma students may currently waive HOPE and the online course requirements set by the DOE if they qualify for the diploma by the completion of their junior year.

3. Does earning the AICE Diploma qualify students for the Florida Bright Futures tuition scholarship?

Yes, currently, students who earn the AICE Diploma and complete 100 service hours during their high school careers automatically earn the current Florida Academic Scholars tuition scholarship regardless of grade point average and/or college entrance examination scores.

4. What do I have to do to earn an AICE Diploma?

Students must pass seven credits worth of Cambridge examinations (including the Cambridge International AS Level Global Perspectives & Research). At least one examination must come from each of the three subject groups:

Mathematics & Sciences, Languages, and Arts & Humanities. Syllabi are typically divided into two years of study. In Year 1 of study, students can work to earn an Advanced Subsidiary (AS) credit. AS Level exams count for one credit.

In Year 2 of that area of study, called A2 Level, students can earn an additional one credit. Advanced (A) Level subject matter is studied in one year and exams count for two credits. If a student fails to earn six credits but has passed the six classes, he may still qualify for the Florida Medallion Scholarship.

5. What is the difference between AS and A Level exams?

Advanced (A) Level syllabi and exams cover approximately two years of college-level curriculum in a subject. The Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level syllabus and exam covers the first year of the two- year A Level curriculum. An AS Level exam counts for one credit towards the AICE Diploma. An A2 Level exam (Year 2 of the course) counts for an additional credit. The A Level exam counts for two credits.

6. Do students have to earn the full AICE Diploma in order to earn college credits?

No. Students receive General Certificate of Education (GCE) subject certificates for AS and A Level examinations passed. Colleges award credit on a subject–by– subject basis according to grades earned on individual examinations passed.

(8)

Course Selection Guide 2022-2023

7. Do many universities give college credits for AS/A Level exams passed?

Yes. University of Cambridge International Examinations publishes a list on its website of US universities that have provided written statements of their AICE (which includes AS and A Levels) recognition policy. If a university admissions counselor is unfamiliar with AICE, CIE suggests that you ask to speak to the international admissions counselor. All public universities and community colleges in Florida award up to 45 hours of college credit combined for AICE and AP exams passed.

8. Is AICE comparable with IB and AP?

Yes, all three programs are well established in the education community and in universities around the country.

Both AICE (AS and A Level) and IB are accepted at universities around the world. The main difference between AICE and IB is the flexibility of the AICE Diploma. Students have the freedom to create their own educational experience across the AICE curriculum areas.

MATHEMATICS

Guidance counselors will meet with each student to determine the most appropriate placement for next year’s math course. Some designated high school students will take a math placement test at the end of the current school year. Students currently enrolled in Algebra 2, Algebra 2 Honors, Pre-Calculus, Analysis of Functions, AICE Math, and Probability/Statistics will take this placement test. Scores will be reviewed and considered along with class grades, previous year’s EOC score, NWEA data, and teacher recommendation. Math courses will be assigned during the summer, and changes will only be made if a mistake in placement is made, or if further data indicates a need for a different placement. We have chosen to do this to ensure our students are well-prepared with the foundational skills and knowledge they need at each level to progress to more rigorous math courses in high school and in college.
