This course is designed for students who have special interests and abilities in the life sciences. The course is designed to help students understand, explain, analyze and interpret biological processes that God uses to sustain His living creation. Students will be expected to spend some time outside of the regular class period in laboratory activities. Students are also encouraged to take the Advanced Placement exam in Biology. 

College Core (NCAA approved)

This course is designed to be the equivalent to a general chemistry taken in college. The course teaches the fundamentals and competence in dealing with chemical problems. In addition, the course will contribute to the development of students’ abilities to think clearly and express their ideas, orally and in writing, with clarity and logic. Students will be expected to spend some time outside of the regular class period in laboratory activities.  May be concurrently enrolled in Physics.

The purpose of this two-semester course is to discover, analyze and utilize the relationships found in the world. it focuses on the constantly changing dynamic of the world and acquaints students with the natural laws our Lord established to govern it. Emphasis on theoretical topics, critical thinking and problem solving makes this class challenging. Students must be strong in math and science to be successful in this course. 

This required two-semester course examines the nature of living things—plant, animal and human.  Their structure, growth, workings, reproduction, and their relationships to the rest of creation are stressed. Considerable emphasis is put on lab work.

Human Anatomy & Physiology is a course that will enable students to develop an understanding of the relationships between the structures and functions of the pinnacle of God’s creation, the human body. Students will also learn the mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within the human body and pathology of the different systems. This course will involve laboratory activities, projects, dissections, textbook material, models, diagrams, journal writings, and clinical studies. Students interested in becoming nurses, doctors, athletic trainers and the like will benefit from this course.
