This is an accelerated course. Students are expected to do advanced work, labs and projects. Students will investigate the diversity, complexity, and interconnectedness of life on earth. The course focuses on the study of the cell and its major functions, genetics and biodiversity, evolution, and the study of the environment as well as human anatomy and physiology. This is a laboratory- based course.

This is an accelerated course. Students are expected to do advanced work, project-based/ technology-based assessments on a daily basis. Technology Engineering is an engaging, project- based course incorporating the Massachusetts State Frameworks. Students will learn the steps in the engineering design process, develop a rich understanding of technology, understand how advances in technology affect human society, and solve real-world problems using the engineering-design process. The course focuses on teamwork, collaboration, communication and individual work. There are four main projects; Project 1: Design the best organizer in the world, Project 2: Design a building of the future, Project 3: Improve a patented boat design, and Project 4: Electricity and communication systems.

This is an accelerated course designed for those students who are planning on attending a four- year college or university. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: atomic structure, physical and chemical changes, the structure and properties of elements and compounds, types of chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium, reaction rates and energy associated with chemical changes. Emphasis will be placed on the development of higher reasoning, independent thinking and problem solving skills. Projects, group activities, computer technology in data analysis, videos, and laboratory exercises will be performed to support class discussion.

This course stresses the study of forces and the laws that affect all mass in the universe. It provides an introduction to gravity, Newton’s laws, electromagnetism, and wave motion of light and sound. Students perform lab experiments that are designed to reinforce topics and with emphasis placed on the development of critical thinking, problem solving skills. The utilization of the SI system of measurements, accuracy and precision will be incorporated into laboratory activities.

This college preparatory course provides students with intensive forensic training using techniques, procedures, analysis, and crime scene investigations commonly practiced by many U.S. crime labs. Training includes various biotechnology protocols, and several case projects to deliver topics such as fingerprint biology, ballistics, plaster casting, data analysis, blood-typing and DNA fingerprinting. The course promises plenty of mock investigations to keep students engaged for this biology, chemistry and mathematics-based study.

This course is an in depth study of the forces and laws that affect all mass in the universe. Topics covered include: gravitational forces, Newton’s Laws of Motion, electromagnetic forces, and wave properties of light and sound. Students will use experimental investigations to illustrate concepts and confirm their understanding of physical laws. The utilization of the SI system of measurements, accuracy, precision and statistical analysis of error will be incorporated into laboratory activities.

This college preparatory course will be an introduction to the human body integrating the anatomy and physiology of cells, tissues, organs, the systems of the human body, and the mechanisms of homeostasis. It includes the study of the gross and microscopic structure of the systems of the human body with special emphasis on the relationship between structure and function.
