Biology: The Living Earth is based on the California Three Course model, and follows the suggested sequence as outlined in Chapter Seven of the California State Science Framework: Ecosystem Interactions and Energy, History of Earth's Atmosphere, Evidence of Evolution, Inheritance of Traits, Structure Function and Growth, Ecosystem Stability and the Response to Climate Change. The course focuses on the interactions of life and the earth systems, and is taught through a discovery lens, whereby students investigate natural phenomena and are given the opportunity to discover the scientific concepts with the teacher's guidance. This is an introductory laboratory science course, designed to develop foundational scientific skills, including the eight scientific and engineering practices. Students will learn to recognize the seven cross cutting concepts, will be prepared to study higher level science, and will be better informed world citizens. Biology: The Living Earth is a college preparatory class that is targeted for 9th and 10th grade students.

This course studies the effect of man on planet earth. It combines geology, chemistry, and biology with geography and politics. It requires students to analyze and synthesize a wide variety of scientific information from many different sources in order to understand the long-range impact man is having on his environment. Additionally students will be asked to develop realistic solutions to major environmental issues while accounting for both the benefits and the costs. The laboratory portion will include air, water, soil and biological analysis. Students will participate in oral arguments and written essays in which they will be required to argue a point of view – not one that they necessarily believe – and support that point of view with documented scientific fact. AP Environmental Science is recommended for any student with an interest in environment and a willingness to commit to 30-60 minutes of reading per night.

Sports Medicine is a course intended to educate high school students in the practical application of anatomy and physiology through the use of acquired sports medicine skills. Students will learn about the many professions that fall under the umbrella of sports medicine such as: Athletic Training, Physical Therapy, Orthopedic studies, Personal Training and Nutrition. The instructor and guest speakers will teach students about valuable career pathways that they may choose to follow. Practical instruction includes, but is not limited to, the following: Taping/Bracing, Emergency Evaluation, Preventative, Managerial & Rehabilitative Practices, Practical Anatomy Application, CPR Certification, & pursuance of a job in Sports Medicine. Students will participate in practical hours outside of the classroom at assigned sporting events.

This course coves the anatomy and physiology of the human being starting with a study of the tissues, then proceeding through the systems of the body. In addition to the standard format of physiology as described for Physiology P, this honors course includes some fairly unique experiences. Field trips are planned to view cadaver dissections. Visiting medical professionals share their expertise with the students using the cadavers and creative demonstrations. The exams are essays, coupled with multiple choice questions as well as lab practical exams. Laboratory studies are extensive and the write-ups are comprehensive.
