Classes for Credit

This course is designed for students who are capable of accelerated progress in mathematics. Topics include Euclidean geometry, introduction to logic, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and transformational geometry. Students may enroll if they have completed Algebra I. Students taking this course will need a scientific calculator. There will be a midterm and a Final Exam. This course satisfies the regular Geometry requirement at Marlborough. A minimum of an 80% class average allows a student to enroll in regular Algebra II with Trigonometry in the fall. PLEASE NOTE:  This is a for-credit class, and due to the condensed nature of the course, attendance is mandatory. 

Marlborough Summer offers the opportunity for students entering grades 9–12 to complete the Emergency Preparedness and Water Safety course requirement in a three week, 60-hour course. 

This required course fulfills one of the Marlborough School graduation requirements. Through this course, students learn to care for others in emergency situations while learning about their personal safety in diverse emergency medical situations. The main components of the course include: First Aid, CPR, and Water Safety. Students will participate in scenarios, practical skill testing and simulated rescue drills, and generally train to be well equipped to handle unexpected emergency events. Students will also develop team leadership skills by using strong collaborative and communication skills during class exercises.  To pass the class, students must fulfill the requirements to earn the following American Red Cross certifications: CPR for the Professional Rescuer, Basic Water Rescue, Emergency Medical Response (including Advanced First Aid, Preventing Disease Transmission, the Detection of Hazardous Materials and Blood-Borne Pathogens and Search and Rescue), Incident Commands, Oxygen Administration, and Multiple-Casualty Incidents.

In addition, for those who wish, there will be an opportunity to earn the American Red Cross Lifeguard Training certification, but this is not required to pass the class. Due to the condensed nature of this course, attendance is mandatory on all dates. Students must also attend and participate in the final simulated skills test and drill that occur during the last week. The simulated test and drill is mandatory for course credit - no exceptions. Again, students must participate in all 60 hours in order to receive the semester credit for Physical Education and fulfill the Marlborough graduation requirement.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the condensed nature of this course, attendance is mandatory on all dates. Students MUST attend and participate in the final simulated skills test and drill that occur in class during the last week. This is MANDATORY for course credit - THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. If a student cannot commit to attending class she should not register. Students must participate in all 60 hours of the class in order to receive the semester credit for Physical Education and fulfill the Marlborough graduation requirement.
