Summer Precalculus
Girls Only & All Gender Course; Full Year Course Credit; Prerequisite - Successful completion of Geometry and Algebra II or equivalent; June 16 - August 8, 2025
Course Overview
Summer courses at One Schoolhouse are fully online, fully asynchronous, and class-paced. For more information about what this means click here.
This course covers a full year of precalculus in eight weeks, covering the algebraic and trigonometric concepts that lay the foundation for AP® AB Calculus or its equivalent. Students graph and solve polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions, while applying these functions to model the relationship between different quantities in the real world. They explore the unit circle, solve trigonometric equations, and study abstract applications by proving trigonometric identities. Students then examine and apply algebraic representations of matrices, vectors, sequences and series, and conic sections in order to understand the patterns and behaviors associated with these concepts. The course concludes with an introduction to calculus through limits. Students also have the option of studying polar coordinates, parametric functions, and derivatives. Students demonstrate mastery through traditional and alternative assessments, discussion prompts, reflection on their learning, group collaboration, and individual application activities.
“The way that One Schoolhouse gives different learning pathways is super helpful. It allows me to play around with how I learn the best and use this to my advantage.”
New in 2025
Our Traditional summer school program requires approximately 20 hours of coursework each week, with little flexibility, throughout each of the eight weeks of summer school.
Interested to learn if our Tutorial Program is a good fit for your students? Contact our Member Services team.
Our Tutorial Program, new this summer, is just as rigorous and demanding as our traditional summer offerings, while offering more flexibility for students. The tutorial sections allow students to work at a faster pace, with a deadline of completing at least the first half of the course by July 11 and the end of the course by August 8. In order to enroll in our tutorial program, you must attend one of our consortium schools. Students will not have the same weekly deadlines to complete their course work and will be able to to structure their learning with their other commitments in mind. We will be piloting this model with one section of three popular courses: Precalculus, Algebra II, and US History.

Summer Courses
Summer courses are for-credit opportunities for ambitious students to get a jump on the next academic year. Students participating in these courses should plan to devote 20 hours per week for eight weeks to their course. Students will receive grades and comments in these classes, which are the equivalent of year-long, high-school level courses. Because of the pacing and intensity of for-credit summer courses, there is little flexibility; students must be available and have internet access for all eight weeks of the course.
