The English I course is designed to provide a foundation in basic language and literature-related skills. Students will learn how to use the language more effectively, especially in the area of written expression. Students will also obtain skills in vocabulary acquisition, reading comprehension, analysis of literature, and critical thinking.

This is a comprehensible input-based course. Through the course of each unit, students use all four communicative skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Its student-centered lessons bring together language and culture in each lesson sequence, preparing students for the real world.

What does that mean? It means that this will not be a typical "memorize massive lists of vocab, take a quiz, forget it" class. You will build on small amounts of vocabulary; reading, writing, and speaking constantly. This is NOT a course to use Google Translate. Your job as a student is to actively participate in each lesson and activity. You will be required to video yourself speaking and you will also be required to interact with other students and/or me. You can do this! Language can be so fun!!

This course meets the requirements for the second half of Spanish 1.

This course emphasizes the fundamental algebra concepts and skills assessed by the mandatory state assessment test. After a brief review of 7^th and 8^th grade pre-algebra concepts, students will begin an extensive study of two-dimensional graphing along with solving linear equations and inequalities in both one and two variables. The use of graphing calculators will be integrated where appropriate, and there will be a strong emphasis on applied problem solving. Other topics will include graphing and solving systems of equations and quadratic equations; operations with polynomials, factoring, rational expressions, exponents and radical expressions.

Algebra 2 is designed to prepare students to use advanced algebraic concepts and skills in mathematics and in other related disciplines.  This course will build upon the concepts taught in Algebra 1 and Geometry and provides further development of the foundation for functions which are linear or quadratic. Continual mathematical emphasis will be placed on problem solving, language and communication, real-world connections, models, and applications.  Technology will be used to introduce and expand upon algebraic concepts. 

Geometry consists of the study of figures of zero, one, two, and three dimensions and the relationships between them. Students will study properties and relationships having to do with size, shape, location, direction, and orientation of these figures. Spatial reasoning plays a critical role in geometry; shapes and figures provide ways to represent mathematical situations and to express generalizations about time and spatial relationships.

In this course, students use mathematical models to model and solve real life applied problems involving money, data, change, patterns, music design and science. Students will review and expand the skills learned in Algebra I to help manage their own finances. Along with problem solving, students will be assigned computer spreadsheets to do in-depth studies of such topics as obtaining consumer loans for automobiles and home mortgages, using consumer credit wisely, and learning to budget personal income.

Anatomy and Physiology is a course that examines the basic biological concepts of structure and function of the human body. The systems of the human body are covered through a variety of activities including labs, lectures, and projects. First semester is dedicated to identifying the mechanisms by which the body systems work together to maintain homeostasis. 

The goal of this course is to lead students towards a greater understanding of the chemical world around them through inquiry, analysis, experimentation, and mathematical manipulations. 

During the first half of the course, students will study about the characteristics of matter, the use of the Periodic Table, the historical development of the atomic theory, how and why bonding occurs along with the results of bonding.  Then the  students study stoichiometry, the various gas laws, solution chemistry, thermochemistry, and nuclear chemistry the last semester.  

In this course, students will utilize scientific practices to gain knowledge of the overarching concepts related to physical science.  Linear motion, forces, vectors, projectiles, universal gravitation, and energy are the main concepts explored during this semester.   The curriculum integrates critical thinking, experimental design, and laboratory skills. These skills will be developed using mathematical modeling, data interpretation, and graphical analysis.

Economics is a course required by the state for graduation. This course focuses on the basic principles concerning production, consumption, and distribution of goods and services in the US and a comparison with other types of economic systems found around the world. The role of government, financial institutions, and the consumer in the free enterprise system is investigated. Lessons on personal finance and the economy of Texas are included in the course. It is designed to be completed in one semester.

World Geography is a two-semester course that offers an overview of the physical and cultural geography of Earth.  The first semester begins with a study of basic geographic skills, and then proceeds to cover the following world regions:

• The United States and Canada
• Latin America
• Europe
• Russia

World Geography is aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) with emphasis upon reading and writing in a broad range of social studies disciplines, including history, geography, political science, and economics.

Virtual School World History offers an overview of the history of humankind. The course begins with earth’s first civilizations and surveys the progress of human endeavor from those earliest cultures to the contemporary world. Throughout the course, students will examine the institutions, ideas, and individuals that have shaped world civilization. World History is a two-semester course aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) with emphasis upon reading and writing in a broad range social studies disciplines, including history, geography, political science, and economics. Students will also use primary and secondary source documents to complete research and problem-solving projects.

This is an elective course that combines the courses on the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and its impact, and on the New Testament and its impact. It is worth 1 credit if both old and new testaments are taken.

This course, recommended for grade 10-12 students, is designed to develop citizens capable of making sound financial decisions that will allow them to lead financially secure lifestyles and understand personal financial responsibility.

Professional Communications blends written, oral, and graphic communication in a career-based environment. Careers in the global economy require individuals to be creative and have a strong background in computer and technology applications, a strong and solid academic foundation, and a proficiency in professional oral and written communication. Within this context, students will be expected to develop and expand the ability to write, read, edit, speak, listen, apply software applications, manipulate computer graphics, and conduct Internet research.
