Physical Science is a lab science. It will include coverage of chemistry, physics, and earth science to help students gain a solid foundation to confidently complete other high school level courses in each topic. Through this course, students will see evidence of God’s creation as they learn scientific principles. Students will also learn to make correct observations and create formal lab reports.
Saxon Math Algebra 1/2 introduces algebra topics and facilitates the students’ transition from the concrete concepts of arithmetic to the abstract concepts of algebra.
What image comes to mind when you hear the word “Science”? Do you think science is hard or maybe even boring? Ins this class we will be learning about the history of science and how to do science. We will also study the history of life, how our bodies work, and some amazing living creatures that exist in God’s Creation. Discussions and weekly hands-on experiments will bring science to life.
This is an introductory Spanish course. It will focus on teaching common Spanish vocabulary and concepts necessary for daily interaction. During Spanish 1, we will learn present tense verb conjugation, basic vocabulary, pronunciation, and basic Spanish grammar. This course also contains comprehensive based readers for language acquisition. Participation in class is expected. Students will be required to work on Spanish on a daily basis as it is key when learning a foreign language.
Spanish 2 builds on the knowledge gained during Spanish I. It will continue to focus on teaching the students common vocabulary and concepts necessary for daily interaction through a variety of exercises. This course uses comprehension-based readers for language acquisition and comprehensible input for conversational skills. The student will gain confidence in the acquired language skill.
