Algebra I forms the foundation for the study of mathematics in high school. This course introduces algebraic concepts and emphasizes the theory and application of variables. Topics include linear equations and inequalities, graphing, factoring, radical expressions, and solving problems using the quadratic equation.

Prerequisite: Algebra I. This course will develop an awareness of plane geometry, its language and concepts. Students will study geometric shapes and their relationships and formulas, geometric proofs, right triangle trigonometry, congruent triangles, circles, transformations, and surface area.

Prerequisite: Algebra I and Geometry. Algebra II expands on the topics of Algebra I and provides further development of the concept of functions. Emphasis is given to polynomials, exponential and logarithmic functions, irrational and complex numbers, graphing, systems of equations, and quadratics. An introduction to trigonometry and sequences and series is also included.

Prerequisite: Algebra II and Geometry. In this course in advanced algebra and trigonometry, students during the first semester will study function concepts and symbols, coordinate geometry, complex roots and factoring, mathematical modeling, and review exponential and logarithmic functions. Second semester study will include analysis of trigonometric functions and their inverses, the unit circle, systems of equations,matrices and determinants, sequences and series, and conic sections. Graphing calculators required.

Spanish I focuses on real-life language use, the integration of culture and language, and the four skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening.  The acquired language skills are reinforced through active participation in group and pair work as well as the use of videos, audio tapes and computer assisted learning.

Prerequisite: Spanish I or consent of instructor.
Spanish II provides an emphasis on developing oral fluency and progressive development of writing skill. Focuses on deepening and broadening students’ abilities to understand written and spoken Spanish and to speak and write Spanish, and provides students the opportunity to round out their knowledge of the basics of the Spanish language. Grammar review and exercises are supplemented by situational dialogues, oral presentations, written essays and readings of authentic texts to provide comprehensive preparation in Spanish language skills.

The first semester of this course uses the textbook, In the Beginning God, in a study of creation, salvation, and the history and use of the Bible. The second semester of this course uses the textbook, God’s Gift—Our Choice, in a study of the life of Christ. The textbook’s purpose is to get students into the Bible; the course’s purpose is to help students know Jesus more personally.

The primary goal of this course is for students to come to know the loving and redeeming power of Jesus through the study of the Old and New Testament. The course covers the history of God’s people from the Exodus through the period of the development of the New Testament Church. Also covered are the history of the Christian Church from A.D. 70 to the early 1800’s, and growth of the Seventh Day Adventist Church up to the present time.

This course examines the distinctive truths of scripture through the study of the gospel of John and how relationships make our life more meaningful. The primary textbook is scripture, and throughout the course students will learn skills in research and study that allow the Bible to interpret itself. Through this course, students will gain an appreciation and understanding that God created us with the desire for relationships with Him and with each other.

The first goal of this course is to experience the Jesus of scripture, especially as shown in Romans. The second goal of this course is to discover and personally apply the Biblical principles that affect dating, marriage, financial and family decisions. Throughout this course, the student will be challenged to personally apply the Biblical principles to their everyday life decisions.

Instruction in freshman and sophomore PE covers major team sports where basic skills of each activity are stressed. Physical fitness and conditioning are emphasized throughout the year.

The health course will provide high school students with an understanding of how to find and maintain health. This knowledge will enable them to make responsible decisions, develop self-esteem, and optimize their own potential for developing a balanced lifestyle.

Physical fitness, strength conditioning, individualized fitness plans, and a variety of indoor and outdoor individual-sport activities is the emphasis of this class. There will also be opportunity for mentorship with younger athletes such as coaching, refereeing, and assisting in team building and leadership activities.

This class is an introduction to the physical sciences and will provide a good foundation for other sciences, especially chemistry and physics. Major topics covered in this course are scientific method measurements, laws of motion, atomic structure, electricity, heat and energy.

This course surveys the various aspects of biology including the study of origins, genetics, microbiology, zoology, botany and ecology. This is a lab science and students are required to attend lab per class schedule. A one-week field lab during the first semester is a required part of the course.

Prerequisite: satisfactory completion of Algebra I or consent of instructor. This course is a study of atomic structure and how it relates to the chemistry of the elements. Chemical composition and reactions are studies, as well as the chemistry of solids, liquids, gases, acids and bases. Kinetics, equilibrium, oxidation-reduction and organic chemistry are also studied. This is a lab science and students are required to attend lab per class schedule.

Prerequisite: Physical Science, Algebra 1. This general physics course with Labs will guide students in making connections between the concepts of physics and the real world. Through the study of the laws of physics, a conceptual but also mathematical pursuit, the goal is that the student will value the diversity, design, and precision that God has placed in the workings of His universe. Topics to be included are: mechanics, properties of matter, heat, sound and light, and electricity.

In this course students will acquire knowledge of the history of the world in order to pursue a deeper understanding of the world in which we live. The primary goal is to better equip students to function in an age of global interaction. In addition, this course will focus on the continuity that exists within our changing environment; while change is always happening, enduring traditions and concerns link people across time.

In this course students will acquire knowledge of the history of the United States to pursue a deeper understanding of the development of its institutions and people. In addition, this course will focus on the continuity that exists within our changing environment.

In this course students will apply the knowledge gained in previous years of study to pursue a deeper understanding of the institutions of American government. In addition, they will draw on their previous study to compare different systems of government in the world. This course prepares students to vote, to reflect on the responsibilities of citizenship, and to participate in their local community and national government. Emphasis will be placed on contemporary issues and events.

A course focused on the foundation of human culture, studying various aspects such as literature, history, art, music, and philosophy.
