SSHS Chemistry Courses:

AP Chemistry is designed to prepare students for the AP Chemistry exam, and covers the equivalent of one full year of college-level general chemistry.
Why take AP Chem? 
College-bound science majors : You will probably be required to take at least one year of chemistry regardless of what science-related major you choose. You can complete it at SSHS.
College-bound, non-science majors : You will probably be required to fulfill a physical science requirement (in addition to a life science requirement, etc.). Why not fulfill that requirement here by taking AP Chem at Santa Su--in the bosom of your family?

CP Chemistry is a standards-based, lab-oriented course for college-bound students that will put them on deck to succeed in a freshman-level college chemistry class, should they ever choose to go that route. A sound mathematical background is required for success in CP Chemistry. This course satisfies the UC D or F  requirement.
