Robotics & Applied Engineering
This required freshman course introduces basic physics through experimentation and content mastery, challenging students to plan, build, and operate multiple major physics-based projects.
Physics
Prepare for college physics by covering a complete core of concepts, emphasizing the ideas behind the equations through discussion, demonstrations, and modern, computer-interfaced lab work.
Physics Honors
An advanced, algebra/trig-based course that expands on core concepts (including rotational dynamics) with deeper analysis and a greater emphasis on lab design (with optional AP exam seating).
Biology
Investigate compelling natural phenomena to master essential concepts across cell biology, genetics, and ecology, focusing on scientific questioning, data analysis, and communication.
Building Habits of Inquiry and Joy in Reading
Introduce essential library skills and begin building the foundations for independent research and strong reading identities. Learn how to navigate the library and locate resources using print and digital tools.
Building Habits of Inquiry and Joy in Reading
Deepen understanding of how books serve as “mirrors” and “windows,” organizing findings into bibliographies and applying skills to content areas like mythology and Mesoamerican cultures.
Advancing Research, Literacy, and Critical Thinking
Learn to evaluate digital and print sources for credibility and bias, cite accurately, and synthesize information for complex projects like Genius Hour and historical research.
Building Foundations for Movement and Teamwork
Begin mastering basic movement skills, including locomotor movements, dribbling, catching, throwing, and striking.
Building Foundations for Movement and Teamwork
Build on core skills by applying them in complex ways to foster teamwork and game strategy.
Building Foundations for Movement and Teamwork
More realistic game scenarios, preparing for participation in competitive sports and teams.
