　　学习简介

　　学校著名校友包括肯尼迪家族和乔治华盛顿家族。

　　乔治城预备中学 (Georgetown Preparatory School)创建于1789年，位于马里兰州，是一所男子住宿中学，主要提供9-12年级课程。全校人数为460人，住宿生约100人，分别来自美国本土22个州和世界上13个其他国家。学校由美国的第一个天主教主教在1789年建立的。预科学校是这个国家最古老的一所耶稣会会士学校，也是唯一一所寄宿制耶稣会会士学校。预科学校学术上非常严谨的文学艺术课程以耶稣会会士创立者St. Ignatius Loyola 的教育哲学理念为基础，教育哲学理念是：一种在见解上，洞察力上，学者气质的完美上，个人责任上，“男人对他人”重要性上的信念。这种信念服务于那些被社区服务组织列为遭受不幸的人，这些不幸的人是通过那些社区服务活动列举出来的，所有预科学校的学生都包含在这个服务组织里。

　　学校特色

　　该校是美国最古老的男校，也是唯一一所耶稣会寄宿学校，为 MSDE 、 MSACSS 认证。 提供富挑战性的大学预备课程，在体育及视觉教育方面的优良教育被国内所认可，师资优良， 88% 教师有硕士以上经验。课外社团活动繁多，演说辩论、国际关系社在全国竞赛素有获得杰出成绩的传统;校内办有周报及两份年刊。校园占地95英亩，邻近美国国卫院与毕塞斯达海军医学中心，距华盛顿各主要机场皆 35 分钟左右车程，华盛顿地区的众多博物馆与政府机关丰富了教学资源。This is a history course focusing on the styles and kinds of art that different cultures produce. As of 2005 this course became based on the context of the major cultures as humans have evolved from the caves right up to our present times in Western and Non-Western cultures. Students learn to observe and think and write on the college level. The course is best for a student with good reading comprehension and who enjoys learning about architecture, painting and sculpture. Students are welcome to audit a day before committing to the course and to talk with the instructor about the content and expectations of this challenging course. This course fulfills the social studies requirement for senior year.

　　Honors Biology emphasizes the molecular aspects of biology. Students will cover the core topics of biology through an investigative approach. Special molecular emphasis will be placed on the following topics: Taxonomy, evolution, the origin of life, biochemistry, bioenergetics, cytology, genetics, reproduction and development, human anatomy and physiology, botany, ecology, and sociobiology. There are no prerequisites for this course; application and departmental acceptance are required.

　　课程设置

　　艺术：艺术、戏剧、录音棚艺术、数字摄影、玻璃录音棚、方法与材料、平面设计与数字媒体、音乐、乐队、预备歌手、合唱

　　数学：代数1、中级代数、几何、代数1(三角)、代数II(三角)、预备微积分、微积分入门、A first course in geometry using Euclid’s Elements as the text. Topics include definitions axioms, postulates, angle and line relationships, properties of parallel lines, congruence theory, triangles, Euclid’s proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, circles, perimeter and area of plane figures, surface area and volume of solids, the Platonic solids, similarity, ratio, proportion, geometric constructions and algebraic applications. This course spends a great deal of time on geometrical proofs, both direct and indirect. A straightedge and compass are required.Prerequisites: successful completion of Algebra I or Intermediate Algebra – Placement by Math Department

　　This course is divided into 2 parts. Part I is a study of the elementary functions – polynomial, rational, linear, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric – and rates of change – with an eye towards calculus ahead. Topics are examined according to the Rule of 4: (1) graphically (2) numerically (3) analytically (4) verbally. Part II is a beginning study of the calculus of a single variable. Topics include limits, continuity, derivatives, and anti-derivatives. The use of technology is an important part of this course. A TI-83+ or TI-84 graphics calculator is required.

　　Prerequisites: placement by the Math department (completion of Algebra 3/Trig)

　　宗教研究：宗教I/II/III/V

　　现代语言：高级西班牙语II、西班牙语5

　　The course aims to reinforce the importance of second language acquisition through a variety of motivating activities and build upon skills acquired in Advanced Spanish I. The curriculum includes all grammatical elements of Spanish 2 and 3, building on grammar, vocabulary and accurate pronunciation. There is a heightened emphasis on understanding authentic resources and using these resources for written and oral communication. Oral communication skills continue to be developed through pair and group work. An audio and DVD program and numerous culturally authentic materials are used to supplement the textbook.

　　自然科学：物理、化学、生物、解剖生理学

　　Physics is an introductory course that surveys all of the core concepts of physics while minimizing the calculation-intensive areas of the field. This course covers topics such as motion, force, energy, momentum, heat, nuclear and astrophysics. Concepts are reinforced through real-world estimations and topical essays. The laboratory component of the course emphasizes conceptual understanding rather than detailed analysis. There are no prerequisites for this course; however, students must have a working knowledge of algebra and geometry.

　　AP Biology is a freshman-level college course in introductory life sciences, which will prepare the student for the AP Biology exam. The course covers all the topics introduced in the Honors Biology course, but in a more in-depth manner. The curriculum includes: structure and function of plants and animals, molecular biology, cytology, evolutionary biology, ecology, taxonomy and phylogeny. AP Biology meets for 1 ½ periods every day. Prerequisites for this course are HonorsBiology or Biology and Chemistry, application and departmental acceptance are required.

　　社会研究：美国历史、政治、西方文化、世界史、

　　AP课程：工作室艺术12、乐理、拉丁IV/V，语言写作、文学写作、微积分AB、微积分BC、多元微积分、统计、计算机科学、西班牙语、发育、法国文学、德语、物理、化学、生物、经济学、美国政治、美国比较政府、统计、现代欧洲史、艺术史、美国历史、世界史。

　　荣誉课程：物理、生物、化学

　　This course emphasizes aspects of music, such as harmony; more often, however, it integrates aspects of melody, harmony, texture, rhythm, form, musical analysis, elementary composition, and to some extent, history and style. Musicianship skills such as dictation and other listening skills, sight-singing, and keyboard harmony are considered an important part as well. The student's ability to read and write musical notation is fundamental to such a course. It is also assumed that the student has acquired (or is acquiring) at least basic performance skills in voice or on an instrument. The ultimate goal of an AP Music Theory course is to develop a student's ability to recognize, understand, and describe the basic materials and processes of music that are heard or presented in a score. The achievement of these goals may best be approached by initially addressing fundamental aural, analytical, and compositional skills using both listening and written exercises. Building on this foundation, the course should progress to include more creative tasks, such as the harmonization of a melody by selecting appropriate chords, composing a musical bass line to provide two-voice counterpoint, or the realization of figured-bass notation. Students will sit for the AP exam in May.

　　体育项目：足球、排球、篮球、网球、越野、滑冰、击剑等
