Biology is a lab-oriented course involving a survey of living systems and their interrelationships. Topics include scientific method, biochemistry, cell structure and function, DNA structure and function, genetics, growth and development of organisms, taxonomy, kingdoms and ecology. Laboratory skills and safety procedures are stressed.

Chemistry I is a lab-oriented course that introduces the basic concepts of inorganic chemistry. Students will use scientific practices to solve investigative questions. Topics include scientific measurement and calculations, lab skills, atomic structure, chemical formulas, equations and stoichiometry, chemical bonding, states of matter, solutions, acids and bases, and nuclear chemistry. Laboratory skills and safety procedures are stressed.

Physics is a lab-oriented course that studies motion and energy. A combination of laboratory experiments and theory are used to develop the following topics: velocity, acceleration, forces, momentum, energy, heat, sound, electricity, and light. Students will use a systematic approach to answering scientific laboratory and field investigations.

Earth and Space Science combines earth science, ocean science, atmospheric science, and space science in a single course. In one year, students learn the basics and special topics of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and planetary astronomy in a course that builds upon the knowledge they learned in their earlier high school science courses of biology, chemistry, and physics. Students study a variety of topics that are designed to develop an understanding of the Earth's system in space and time. Concepts included are the complex and dynamic history of the earth and the advances in technologies that help further that understanding, the geosphere and complex subsystems linking it to the Earth's surface, and the fluid earth's influences on climate and its implications to life on earth.

This course is designed to provide an overview of the interrelationships of the natural world. It will also examine environmental problems, both natural and human-made, and alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them.

Forensic Science uses a structured and scientific approach to the investigation of crimes such as assault, abuse and neglect, domestic violence, accidental death, and homicide. Students will learn terminology and investigative procedures related to crime scenes, questioning and interviewing, and scientific procedures used to solve criminal acts. Using scientific methods, students will collect and analyze evidence through case studies and simulated crime scenes. Students will conduct fingerprint, ballistics, and blood spatter analysis. Students will gain knowledge and understanding of forensic science by studying the history, legal aspects, and career opportunities in the field of forensics.

In World Geography studies, students examine people, places, and environments at local, regional, national, and international scales from the spatial and ecological perspectives of geography.

World History Studies is the only course offering students an overview of the entire history of humankind. The major emphasis is on the study of significant people, events and issues from earliest times to the present.

Students study the history of the United States since Reconstruction to the present. Historical content focuses on the political, economic, and social events and issues related to industrialization and urbanization, major wars, domestic and foreign policies of the Cold War, and post-Cold War eras, and reform movements including civil rights.

In Government, the focus is on the principles and beliefs upon which the United States was founded and, on the structure, functions, and powers of government at the national, state, and local levels.

In Psychology students consider the development of the individual and the personality. The study of psychology is based on an historical framework and relies on effective collection and analysis of data. Students study topics such as theories of human development, personality, motivation, and learning.

The focus is on the basic principles concerning production, consumption, and distribution of goods and services in the United States and a comparison with those in other countries around the world.
