Ap Environmental Science

Prerequisites: See pages 6, 11

This course is designed to give students a diverse view of how our natural world affects us as individuals, as a species and all organisms as a planetary whole. The interconnection of organisms, environments and the systems of each are central to our understanding of how to best live within the natural world, not control it. We will cover many diverse topics ranging from the scientific, at a micro and macro scale, to data gathering and analysis, to US and world government policies and our own morality, role and responsibilities as inhabitants of this planet.

Underclassmen are required to take the AP exam. Seniors are required to take the exam but may apply for an exemption in consultation with the teacher and the College Counseling Office.

Biomedical Science

Prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry

This course provides foundational knowledge and skills in biology, anatomy & physiology, genetics, microbiology, and epidemiology. It engages students in how this content can be applied to real-world situations, cases, and problems. Students will tackle real-world challenges biomedical professionals face through individual and collaborative team activities, projects, and issues. They will work with the same tools and equipment used in hospitals and labs as they engage in relevant hands-on work. Students will develop skills in technical documentation to represent and communicate experimental findings and solutions to problems. In addition, students will explore how connections to other disciplines such as computer science and engineering, shape the future of medicine and practice collaboration techniques that will help them connect with professionals across any field.
