Ok, so this is what you're looking at:

Calculus with Applications (12th grade; 1 credit; Prerequisite: Precalculus) — The introductory topics of this course include limits and continuity of functions, derivatives of functions, and their applications to problems. Students find derivatives numerically, represent derivatives graphically, and interpret the meaning of a derivative in real-world applications. Models of previously studied functions will be analyzed using calculus concepts. The topics developed include the relationship between the derivative and the definite integral. The understanding, properties, and applications of the definite integral are included as students learn to explain solutions to problems. Students will model real-world situations involving rates of change using difference or differential equations. The course requires a TI-83+ Graphing Calculator.

AP Calculus (AB and BC Calculus) (12th grade; 1 credit; Prerequisite: Precalculus with Analysis) — The topics studied in A.P. Calculus are those traditional offered in the first year of calculus in college, and design specifically for students who wish to obtain advanced placement in mathematics in college. Concepts are communicated graphically, numerically, analytically and verbally. The basic topics studied include limits and continuity of functions, derivatives and integrals of algebraic and transcendental functions and their applications in problems. The advanced topics developed are applied include integration techniques, convergence tests for series, Taylor or Maclaurin series, elementary deferential equations, and hyperbolic functions. The course requires a TI-83+ Graphing Calculator.[/quote]

These classes are open to anyone with the pre-req/teacher rec.  My DC (PP with non magnet Blair senior again) knew juniors in all three classes last year.[/quote]
