Science

Biology
A laboratory based course to introduce high school students to the theory and laboratory methods of the life sciences. The objectives of the course are designed by following the guidance of the NAD Frameworks and meet all the North Carolina state requirements. In addition to learning the scientific method, students are encouraged to learn the spiritual implications of life from a Biblical perspective.
Earth Science
This course provides students with scientific information and a general understanding of such basic factors as earthquakes, plate tectonics, land formation, water cycles, geology, natural resources, weather, oceanography, pollution, astronomy and origins.
Physical Science
This science course provides students with basic scientific information and understanding of matter, the chemistry of matter, motion, forces, and energy using a textbook and laboratory experience.
Chemistry
A laboratory-based course to introduce students to the theory and laboratory methods of the physical sciences. Use of the scientific method is used throughout and objectives are designed to meet all NAD Frameworks guidelines and North Carolina state requirements. Major topics include: measurement, the mole, reactions, bonding, solutions, energy, state of matter, atomic structure.
Pre-requisite: Algebra I
Physics
This laboratory-based course includes topics such as: mechanics, vectors, energy, measurement, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, and nuclear physics. Objectives for the course meet all North Carolina state requirements.
Pre-requisite: Algebra II
Advanced Placement Biology
A laboratory-based introductory college level course in the life sciences available to seniors. This course is designed to meet all the College Board requirements for the AP Biology course. Upon successful completion, the student will receive secondary level credit and will be prepared to take a national exam that, if successfully passed, will give the student the opportunity to receive college credit as well. This is the introductory course required by all college and university biology departments toward biology major and is a requirement for all premedical students. It is recommended for students planning any biological or medical-related career.
Pre-requisites: High School level Biology and chemistry with at least a ‘B’ grade in each.
