What is the required curriculum for CAMS students?
All CAMS students take math, science, English and social science each year. Graduates from the Academy complete five years of science and four years of math, which includes university calculus. Students take a specialized math program called the Interactive Math Program or IMP, for short. Students taking IMP learn about algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, probability and logic each year through an integrated approach. After three years of IMP, students are prepared for university calculus in their senior year. The Academy also requires two years of the same foreign language and recommends the completion of a full four years so that students submit highly competitive academic records when applying to college. Specifically, ninth graders take IMP, Integrated Science, English, engineering, Careers/Study Skills, foreign language (Japanese or Spanish), Physical Education and one elective. The Academy offers a wide selection of electives, including computer classes, math and science
