Can I use CSP and CSA as computer science 1&2 at our high school? Next year will be the first year of offering CS to high school and want to have it set up as a 2 year sequence. We just introduced a couple of unit of CSD to junior high this past year as we’re trying to establish CS throughout all grades of our school STEM options. Also, we have no desire/intent to go AP at this time and I don’t know if that’s a consideration.

Hi Debbie,  
I think that could work well for your school, to use CSP and CSA for your CS 1 & 2. If you are not making the courses AP, you would have the freedom to take more time with some of the units or projects, without having to prep for the AP exam.  
Please keep coming back to the forum as you get your CS courses rolling at your school!
