AP Computer Science A

Our AP Computer Science A course is designed for high school students who want to dive deep into Java programming and prepare for the AP CSA exam. Over 4 months, students will learn the fundamentals of programming, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), algorithms, and data structures while solving challenging, real-world problems. The course emphasizes hands-on coding, mock exams, and test-taking strategies to ensure students feel confident on exam day.

What You’ll Learn

• Foundations of Java Programming:

  • Variables, data types, constants, and expressions

  • Input/output operations

  • Control structures (if-else, switch) and loops (for, while, do-while)

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):

  • Defining classes, objects, methods, and constructors

  • Accessor/mutator methods

  • Arrays, ArrayLists, and string manipulations

• Advanced OOP and Algorithms:

  • Inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes, and interfaces

  • Sorting and searching algorithms (Selection Sort, Binary Search)

  • Basics of recursion

• Exam Preparation:

  • 2D Arrays: traversal, initialization, and applications

  • Practice free-response questions and multiple mock exams

  • Final review of weak areas
