Geometry Honors challenges students to explore geometric relationships through logic, deductive reasoning, and formal proof. The course covers transformations, congruence, similarity, coordinate geometry, circles, and three-dimensional figures with added depth and complexity. Students are encouraged to make connections between geometry and algebra and to explore applications in architecture, design, and engineering.
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of linear algebra, including vectors, matrices, systems of linear equations, linear transformations, and vector spaces. Applications in computer science, engineering, and economics are explored. A strong foundation in algebra is recommended before taking this course.
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of statistics, including how to collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data. Students will explore patterns and deviations from patterns, learn to design and plan studies, and build models using probability and simulation. Emphasis is placed on using statistical inference to draw meaningful conclusions and validate models. Through real-world applications, students develop a deeper understanding of data-driven decision-making and gain practical skills essential for academic and professional success in a variety of fields.
Physical Science introduces students to foundational concepts in both physics and chemistry. Topics include matter and its properties, motion and forces, energy transformations, sound, light, and simple machines. Through hands-on investigations and real-world examples, students build a strong base for future science courses while developing skills in observation, analysis, and experimentation.
Biology offers a foundational study of life and living systems. Students explore topics such as cell structure and function, genetics and heredity, evolution, ecosystems, classification, and the anatomy and physiology of plants and animals. The course emphasizes scientific inquiry, experimentation, and the application of biological knowledge to real-world problems. By examining life at molecular, cellular, and ecological levels, students gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and interconnectedness of living organisms and the natural world.
Physics is an algebra-based course that explores the laws and principles governing the physical world. Topics include motion, forces, energy, momentum, waves, electricity, magnetism, and the behavior of matter. Through a combination of conceptual understanding and mathematical application, students develop problem-solving skills and engage in hands-on experiments to explore real-world phenomena. The course encourages scientific reasoning, critical thinking, and the practical use of physics in daily life and future scientific study.
