Robinson High School Advanced Placement (AP)
Why should I take an Advanced Placement course?
Through AP’s college-level courses and exams, you can earn college credit, stand out in
the admission process, and learn from some of the most skilled, dedicated, and inspiring
teachers in the world (College Board, 2010).
In AP classrooms, the focus is not on memorizing facts and figures; instead you will
engage in intense discussions, solve problems collaboratively, and learn to write clearly
and persuasively (College Board, 2010).
AP courses can help you acquire the skills and habits you will need to be successful in
college. You will improve your writing skills, sharpen your problem-solving abilities, and
develop time management skills, discipline, and study habits (College Board, 2010).
More than 90 percent of four-year colleges in the United States and colleges in more
than 60 other countries give students credit, advanced placement, or both on the basis
of AP Exam scores. By entering college with AP credits, you will have the time to move
into upper level courses, pursue a double-major, or study abroad (College Board, 2010).
What AP Courses are offered at Robinson High School?
In 2014-2015, Robinson High School plans to offer the following courses for students:
AP Human Geography (9th-12th)
AP Biology (9th-12th)
AP World History (10th)AP Chemistry (11th-12th)

FAQs
1. How much homework will I have?
a. You should expect more challenging and frequent homework than an Honors
level class. Nightly homework and lengthy reading/writing assignments are
common, but vary from course to course.
2. If my grade is lower than what I want, can I change out of the class?
a. No, schedule changes are not made because of grades. Colleges and
Universities know that AP classes are more difficult and therefore weigh the
grades you earn from AP classes more than Honors classes.
3. What if I do not get assigned the teacher I thought would be teaching the
AP class?
a. Never choose a class because of the teacher. There is no way to guarantee
which teacher you will be assigned and changes will not be made for teacher
preference.
4. How many AP classes should I take?
a. It depends on your work ethic, ability, and after school responsibilities and
activities. Be realistic about your time commitments. Most students should
begin with one AP class and add more in future years, depending on previous
success.
5. Can I get into a college or university without taking an AP class?
a. It depends on the college or university. You need to research their
admissions criteria and the typical profile of students that get accepted. Most
competitive colleges/universities turn away far more students than they
accept, so you need to make yourself marketable and success in AP classes
and on AP exams helps.
6. How do I get college credit for taking an AP class?
a. In May, you will take an AP Exam for every AP class in which you are
enrolled. Typically, colleges/universities award credit for the course if you
score a 3, 4, or 5 on the exam. You have to check with the college or
university for their policy.
7. Do I have to take the AP Exam?
a. Yes, taking the AP Exam is a requirement.
8. What kind of support is available to help me with AP classes?
a. At school, we offer additional tutoring through our Extended Learning
Program. Students are also encouraged to form study groups and access
online resources and print materials.
b. AP Support Class as an elective.

The Arts & Electives
IB Art Design B SL & HL
Art I-B-Art/Design
1 credit, grade 11
Art 2-B-Art/Design 1 credit, grade 12
The IB Art class is a unique opportunity for IB students to explore the arts, history, culture, language (elements and principles) technique
and media – as it relates to themselves and the world around them. Robinson High School offers two options for this study program.
Both options offer the HL or SL course of study. Both culminate in an end of year art show.
• Option A is a path of study which is 60% studio art production, and 40% research and analysis – (designed more for student
with some art production background).
•
Option B is a path of study which is 60% research and analysis with 40% studio work and exploration – designed for the artistic
beginner and/or emerging research analyst. Both are equally rigorous courses of study.
IB Psychology SL & HL
Psychology I - IB 1 credit, grade 11
Psychology II - IB1 credit, grade 12
This course first establishes the preliminary information base for an exploration of psychology, with a basic understanding of descriptive
statistics and research methodologies of psychological research clearly defined. Students then proceed to study the psychological realm
from multiple perspectives and theories. Senior year students will sit for the AP Psychology Exam.

Core Programs
Theory of Knowledge (TOK)1 credit
0900800IGrade 11
Along with Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) and Extended Essay (EE), the Theory of Knowledge course is
one of the core elements of the IB Diploma Program. Its focus is on the nature of knowledge, the sources and
areas of knowledge, and the methods of verifying and justifying knowledge claims. It aims to instill in students
a spirit of intellectual curiosity and thoughtful reflection and give them a sense of both the unity and diversity of
human knowledge. By the end of this course, students will be able, through introspection and dialogue, to critically analyze notions such as knowledge, truth, and value as they relate to their daily lives and the wider world.
Students begin this course semester 2 in junior year and complete it semester 1 in senior year.
Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS)
The goal of IB is to educate the whole person and to help students develop responsible and compassionate citizenship. Creativity, Activity, and Service (CAS) enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal
development through experiential learning, outside the classroom. The requirement for the Diploma Program
(11th and 12th grade) is 150 hours spread out over the course of the two years with a minimum of 25 creativity, 25
activity and 75 hours. Students must complete a 50 HOUR minimum Integrated CAS Project.
Extended Essay (EE)
The extended essay is an in-depth study of a focused topic chosen from the list of approved Diploma Program subjects, normally one of the student’s six chosen subjects for the IB diploma. It is intended to promote
high-level research and writing skills, intellectual discovery and creativity. It provides students with an opportunity to engage in personal research in a topic of their own choice, under the guidance of a supervisor (a
teacher in the school). This leads to a major piece of formally presented, structured writing, in which ideas and
findings are communicated in a reasoned and coherent manner, appropriate to the subject chosen.
