College creditmay be earned with an appropriate score on theexam.2020-2021 AP Exam Fees:(2021-22 fees are not yet available)AP Research or AP SeminarAll other AP Exams 149 per exam 99 per examCONCURRENT COURSESJuan Diego offers concurrent or dual enrollment options through Utah Valley University.This concurrent track offers students potentialcollege credits that transfer to colleges anduniversities in Utah and many out-of-stateschools. College credit is offered to students, solong as they meet certain grade or test thresholds required by the university. Credit hoursoffered vary by course. Students are responsible for college enrollment/courses fees and thepurchase of textbooks. A UVU application fee,good for two years, and a Utah state fee mustbe paid online with a credit card during the firsttwo weeks of the course. A course tuition feeof 25 per UVU credit hour (2020-21 rate) ispaid directly to Juan Diego. College transcriptswill be available from Utah Valley University forthose who complete the course with a grade ofC or higher and have paid the three fees in full.Students must complete the college registration process and pay fees within JD mandateddeadlines or students will be removed from thecourse. Parental permission may be required toenroll in the colleges.Juan Diego also will be offering concurrentcourses through Arizona State University. Thisconcurrent track offers students potentialcollege credit that will transfer to most accredited universities. Credit hours offered varyby course. The amount to participate throughASU’s Universal Learner Coursework consists ofa 25* registration fee as well as a 400* creditconversion fee (*estimated amount), studentscan opt to just take the course and not pay forthe credit conversion. Each student who passes the course has up to one calendar year tocomplete the credit conversion payment. TheseASU courses will be taught collaboratively bythe college professor as well as our Juan Diegodesignated teacher.ONLINE BLENDED LEARNINGCOURSES (OBLN)Courses offered at Juan Diego may be a “blended” online course taught in conjunction with theJuab School District (in partnership with Arizona State University) or Canyons School District.Juan Diego provides the “in-class” portion ofthe content and the teacher for the class itself.2THEOLOGY8 semesters4 credits4 yearsENGLISH8 semesters4 credits4 yearsSOCIAL STUDIES8 semesters4 credits4 yearsMATHEMATICS8 semesters4 credits4 yearsSCIENCE6 semesters3 credits3 yearsWORLD LANGUAGES4 semesters2 credits2 yearsFINE ARTS2 semesters*1 credit1 yearCOMPUTER SCIENCE1 semester1/2 credit1/2 yearHEALTH1 semester1/2 credit1/2 yearPHYSICAL EDUCATION3 semesters1 1/2 credits1 1/2 yearsELECTIVES9 semesters4 1/2 creditsCredits earned prior to high school will not be counted towards graduation requirements.*Beginning with the Class of 2025 3 semesters will be required.In many ways, these blended-learning onlineclasses look and feel like other classes offeredat Juan Diego. The key difference in this approach is that students have 24-hour virtualaccess to the learning materials (handouts,interactive presentations, quizzes, test-preps,etc.) with faculty present (in the classroom andonline) to develop, guide, and provide a digitaldialog with students as they progress throughthe semester. There are no additional online feesfor these courses.ASU CONCURRENT COURSES2331C College Algebra and Trigonometry (Conc)2339C College Math Preview (Conc)UVU CONCURRENT COURSES242AP AP Calculus AB (AdvancedPlacement)532C World History Modern (Conc)2450AP AP Calculus BC (AdvancedPlacement)541C United States Government (Conc)3651C Astronomy (Conc)542C Economics (Conc)451C Introduction to College Writing(Conc)642C Spanish IV (Conc)4532C Poetry in America (Conc)
2021-2022 Course Guide - Juan Diego Catholic High Schoolat Juan Diego Catholic High SchoolAP Capstone is an innovative diploma program from the College Board that equips students with the independent research, collaborative teamwork,and communication skills that are increasingly valued by colleges. AP Capstone is built on the foundation of two AP courses — AP Seminar and APResearch — and is designed to complement and enhance the in-depth, discipline-specific study experienced in other AP courses. Courses designatedas “Capstone Core” are an integral part of the AP Capstone experience at Juan Diego. Courses designated as “Capstone Suggested” prepare studentsfor the rigors of the Juan Diego AP Capstone program.In AP Seminar, students investigate real-world issues from multiple perspectives, gathering and analyzing information from various sources in order todevelop credible and valid evidence-based arguments. In AP Research students cultivate the skills and discipline necessary to conduct independent research in order to produce and defend a scholarly academic thesis. AP Seminar is a prerequisite for AP Research. Students may not take AP Researchwithout completing AP Seminar and all the required assessment components as they will not have developed the skills necessary to be successful inAP Research.AP CAPSTONE COURSES3720AP AP Seminar (Capstone Core)(Advanced Placement) Initial course in the AP Capstone diplomaprogram. Prerequisite: Application process.AP Seminar is the first of two required coursesin the AP Capstone sequence, and also servesas the sophomore English credit for eligiblestudents.In AP Seminar students tackle a wide varietyof literary, philosophical, historical and currentevents readings, and write multiple essaysanalyzing the argumentation in these readingsand synthesizing sources into original argumentative essays. Students also write three researchpapers and make three videotaped oral presentations; the last two of each are uploaded to theCollege Board and serve as part of the student’s AP score. Students are admitted to thecourse through an application process based onPreACT test scores, teacher recommendations,and fully submitted application. Students mustbe concurrently enrolled in AP World History.This demanding course requires students tocomplete long-term projects and meet multipledeadlines.5320AP AP World History Modern(Capstone Core)(Advanced Placement) (OBLN) Course description located in Social Studies1333 / 1334 Capstone Theology I/II(Capstone Core)Course description located in Theology571AP AP Art History(Capstone Suggested)(Advanced Placement) (OBLN) Course description located in Social Studies4150H Global Literature (Honors)(Capstone Suggested)Freshman students onlyCourse description located in English4430AP AP English Language andComposition441AP AP English Literature571AP AP Art History522AP AP European History531AP AP US History5320AP AP World History Modern543AP AP Gov/Politics: US545AP AP Comparative Governmentand Politics583AP AP PsychologyAP COURSES642AP AP Spanish2350AP AP Statistics643AP AP French Language and Culture242AP AP Calculus AB858AP AP Music Theory3730AP AP Research (Capstone Core)(Advanced Placement) 2450AP AP Calculus BC899AP AP Art and DesignPrerequisite: AP Seminar and departmentalapprovalAP Research is the second component in theAP Capstone sequence. To enroll, students musthave completed AP Seminar. In AP Researchstudents build on the reading, research andwriting skills developed in AP Seminar, to develop an original line of inquiry on a topic of theirchoice. Students learn to formulate researchquestions, design a study to answer those research questions, and then carry out their studydesign. Critical thinking, problem-solving, andindependent learning are exercised throughoutthe class. The course culminates with a 5,000word individual research paper, and a 15-20minute presentation and oral defense of thestudents’ work.333AP AP Biology9610AP AP Computer Science A332AP AP Chemistry9611AP AP Computer SciencePrinciples33550AP AP Environmental Science3411AP AP Physics 13420AP AP Physics C3421AP AP Physics 23720AP AP Seminar3730AP AP Research
