本课程以《BBIN游戏官方网站》为基础. The course objectives include: (1) to apply and reinforce algebra skills (2) to establish fundamental geometric relationships with a variety of figures (3) to apply logic and the concept of proof to understanding geometric relationships and theorems (4) to apply geometric skills to problem solving strategies. Topics include basic concepts of geometry, constructions, geometric proofs, perimeter, area and volume of two- and three-dimensional figures, trigonometric functions, special triangles, and coordinate geometry. 

本课程以《BBIN游戏官方网站》为基础. The course objective is to emphasize critical thinking and problem solving through frequent application of the more advanced algebraic skills. Topics include functions, variations and graphs, linear functions, matrices, systems, quadratic functions, powers, inverses and radicals, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, polynomials, quadratic relations, introduction to conic sections, and rational expressions and equations. 

This course is specifically designed for students who successfully completed Algebra 2 and are highly motivated. We will cover trigonometry, logarithms, polar coordinates and vectors, characteristics of graphs of functions, use of radian and degree measure, analytical geometry (including conic sections), upper-level algebraic concepts, the concept of a limit, and an introduction to calculus. The Precalculus Saxon book provides for long-term practice with fundamental concepts and skills of Precalculus mathematics, and its use will produce a significant increase in the number of students who succeed in calculus, physics, and chemistry either in high school or in college. 

Biology is the study of living organisms. 学生们被教导生活的异同. 学生通过他的创造的奇迹获得上帝的本质的理解. 整个课程强调细胞的结构和功能. 主要研究领域是遗传学、植物学、动物学和人类生物学. Theories of evolution are taught alongside Creationism. 学生需要了解这个主题在世俗环境中的呈现方式. Lab work is intended to reinforce topics covered in the classroom and to prepare the students for inquiry-based lab work in future science classes. 

This is a course in introductory chemistry. The topics developed in the course are chemistry and matter, matter and energy in reactions, matter and its structure, matter and its phases, reaction processes, acids and bases. Problem solving is a major element in the study of chemistry. This course utilizes 25-30 hours of lab work. 实验室工作涵盖每个主要课程的主题，重点是:基本的实验室安全, techniques, materials and equipment; application of learned concepts to real world and laboratory applications; correct practices in measurement, documentation, record keeping, and correct style in writing the lab report. 

This is an algebra and trigonometry-based course intended to fully prepare the student for success in a college level general or Engineering Physics course. The topics developed in the course are kinematics; dynamic forces; work and energy; static geometric and wave optics; modern physics. 
Students will apply their understanding of the scientific method to all areas of their course work. The course utilizes 25-30 hours of lab work. 
实验工作发展了课堂所涵盖的主题，重点是:基本的实验室安全, techniques, materials and equipment; correct practices in measurement, documentation, record keeping, and correct style in writing the lab report. 解决问题和分析思维是本课程的基本组成部分.

这包括应用数学作为解决物理学基本问题的工具, 应用物理学作为解决工程问题的基本工具, analyzing laboratory data, interpretation of lab results, graphing and mathematical modeling.

This course is designed as a survey through a regional approach of both geographic principles and every country of the world. Following the theme of a Grand Tour, students study from continent to continent cultures, landforms, climates, resources, economy, religions, and governments. 

本课程深入探讨了世界的历史，从创世到现在. This class concentrates on the people, events, trends, 以及构成人类历史和文明史的思想. With a strong emphasis on dynamic, defining moments in our world's history, topics are diverse and interesting. From art and religion, to war and science, this class creates a foundation from which the student may successfully approach subsequent courses like U.S. History and Civics.

这门课程涵盖了美国历史的全部范围, from European exploration to the present day. 我们将一起审视那些塑造了我们国家的人和事. 我们将会发现上帝的旨意是如何将我们塑造成今天这个样子的. 

Like our Geography/Ancient Civilizations course, this class is two integrated classes into on year. 公民学学期旨在概述国家政府的运作.
