    English 11: Rhetoric: The Art of Persuasion

    Teacher: Kim Davis

    Rhetoric studies the art of persuasion. We’ll begin by analyzing “rhetorical situations” (which occur anytime someone is compelled to speak or write), then will go on to learn the tools available to writers and how those aid persuasion. We won’t just study others’ writing – we will also write a lot ourselves, and even create a visual argument. This course is a basic version of AP Language, and students who do some extra test prep work may choose to take the national exam in May.

    English 12: British and American Literature

    Teacher: Kim Davis

    English 12 is a survey course in British and American literature, studying works representative of chronological historical or literary eras, beginning with Beowulf and moving toward the present day. Students will learn historical and worldview context as well as the basics of literary analysis. Of course tests will be one measure of learning, but also papers, so the course will include targeted writing instruction. Besides learning literary history and how to read and interpret literary works, we’ll ask what a Christian worldview adds to our understanding.

    AP English Language and Composition

    Teacher: Kim Davis

    AP Language and Composition asks an unfamiliar question of a written piece: not “What does it mean?” but “Why is it this way?” It acknowledges that everything from word choice to sentence structure to logical order is designed by an author with a specific purpose to persuade a specific audience. Students learn to recognize and analyze an author’s rhetorical choices, then to apply to their own writing what they observe master writers doing. Studying and writing arguments are our special focus. The course involves lots of reading and dissecting non-fiction texts plus lots of writing both in and out of class. One major project is a lengthy researched argument on a current issue. The course is open to Juniors and Senior and culminates in the national AP exam in May, for which there is an additional fee. Passing grades on the exam generally count as college credit and/or the chance to waive a college composition course. Of all the courses Mrs. Davis has taught, this one is the most valuable regardless of a student’s future area of studies.

  • Anatomy and Physiology

    Teacher: Jodi Schwartz

    Content covers organ systems of the human body in detail. Labs will include extensive use of microscopes as well as dissection and other physiology-related labs to foster critical thinking, proper lab techniques, and collaboration. Lab reports will be completed throughout the course to develop communication and scientific writing skills. Students will be making one formal presentation during the year on topics related to the subject material. The basis for this course is Genesis 1 – God’s creation of life, specifically human life, and its value as His special creation. This is an advanced biology course that fulfills a 2-credit science course for the Core 40, or it may be used as an elective.

    Prerequisite: High School General Biology

    US History

    Teacher: Jon Streeter

    The study of history is far more than names and dates, facts and figures. It is a wonderful narrative of the past filled with thrilling stories of men and women who have shaped the world in which we live. This class is a narrative-based survey of the history of the United States of America. Far more than a presentation of facts to be memorized, this class presents the story of American history in the words of those who witnessed the great moments of the past from the Founding Era to the end of the Cold War. More importantly, US History challenges readers to think critically and form their own opinions on a variety of subjects. Through the lens of both America’s great leaders and average citizens, students will grapple with a number of serious topics and begin to develop a worldview that will shape their lives long after they leave high school.

    This course is designed for high school sophomores and juniors, though students in any grade may enroll. US History will end with the conclusion of the Cold War and the challenges of the 21st century which began on September 11, 2001. Our nation changed forever on that date, and as we discuss the ramifications of the 9/11 attacks, students will be introduced to major themes and topics which will be at the center of Government & Economics class the following year.

    World History

    Teacher: Jon Streeter

    The study of history is far more than names and dates, facts and figures. It is a wonderful narrative of the past filled with thrilling stories of men and women who have shaped the world in which we live. This class is a narrative-based survey of mankind’s journey through time. Far more than a presentation of facts to be memorized, this class presents the story of human history in the words of those who witnessed the great moments of the past from ancient Greece to the Second World War. More importantly, World History challenges readers to think critically and form their own opinions on a variety of subjects. Through the lens of humanity’s greatest thinkers, students will grapple with a number of serious topics and begin to develop a worldview that will shape their lives long after they leave high school.

    This course is designed for high school freshmen and sophomores, though students in any grade may enroll. World History will end with the Second World War, a turning point in history in which the ancient powers of Europe and Asia were supplanted by the rising nations of Russia and the United States; it thus leads into a study of American history in the next school year.

    AP United States Government and Politics

Some assignments will require cooking at home in an effort to foster the application of nutrition concepts. (We're called to be doers and not just hearers! James 1:22) There will be an emphasis on class discussion and presentations.

  • Teacher: Jon Streeter

    The Bible is the most influential book ever written, and for obvious reasons—it shares the Truth of God’s Word and the pathway to salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. And yet, for many Christians, the Bible is a mysterious book filled with stories that boggle the mind, prophecies which confuse even the brightest reader, and letters to people long-dead that are difficult to apply to modern life. This class will unpack the words of Scripture in a clear and relatable way for high school students and show them how the Word of God is far more than just something heard on Sundays and forgotten by lunchtime. The Word is “living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword” (Hebrews 4:12 ESV).

    This course is a general survey of the Old Testament. It begins, well, in the beginning with the Creation and Fall of Man. Students will learn of God’s grace and mercy in providing a path to salvation through the Children of Israel, as well as His wrath and judgment meted out on sinners. The course will also bring out lessons for daily life and encourage students to be mindful of their actions and thoughts as followers of Christ. It will conclude with the messianic prophecies of our Savior’s coming and set up the following year’s New Testament Survey course.

    Old Testament Survey will also build upon Pastor Vaughn’s EQUIP lessons in the 2023-2024 school year about the importance of knowing the evidence proving Scripture’s truth. Students will see videos and read testimonies of men and women who have worked in archaeological sites and laboratories to show an unbelieving world that the Bible factually, textually, and doctrinally true.

    This class will not be taught from a denominational or doctrinaire standpoint, and students from all backgrounds are welcome and encouraged to bring their beliefs and ask questions during class. Whether a student comes from a traditional Catholic or Lutheran church, attends evangelical or non-denominational services, or is irregular in church attendance or unsure of their spiritual beliefs, all are welcome here. The Truth of Scripture will be proclaimed each afternoon in Bible class, but it will be presented as God intended: with love for all and not with judgment.

    Interspersed throughout the year will be a number of what Mr. Streeter calls “Ask Anything” days. Students will be informed when one of these days is approaching, and for the full hour they may ask any question about any spiritual or cultural topic they wish. Mr. Streeter cannot promise absolute answers to these questions (as he has been stumped more than once by Ask Anythings in the past), but he will always direct students back to the Bible and to God’s Truth as they seek answers to life’s deepest and most meaningful questions.

  • Teacher: Chad Temple

    It is one thing to believe something is true, and yet something completely different to know why it is true and even better when you can defend your belief that it is true. If you cannot defend your belief it may end up like a balloon held by a child, too easily blown around and eventually popped by a strong wind (or a mean brother). Our children deserve more than that. They deserve to be confident in this Christian faith, able to weather any wind of doubt.

    In this course we will discover the beauty and the intellectual strength of the Christian faith they hold. We will realize that reason does not need to be suspended for us to hold to the Christian faith. We will learn how to think through the claims made against Christianity, to detect the weaknesses of the argument, and how to present an argument solidly anchored in truth. Right now as you read this, there are professors preparing lesson plans designed to separate your child from their faith. Let’s give our children the intellectual tools necessary to weather that storm.

  • Teacher: Chad Temple

    Philosophy is like the ink of a broken pen, it is everywhere. If you have ever wondered if there is a God, why you exist, if there is such a thing as freedom, what determines right from wrong, how do we know what we know, what about science and religion, or a whole long list of other questions, you have thought philosophically. These are questions that need to be answered if we are going to be able to engage our culture effectively, missionally. In this class, we will cover logic, critical thinking, the concept of truth in our postmodern culture, philosophy of religion, philosophy of science, and the major philosophers. All of this will strengthen our ability to understand the culture we live in and the people God desires us to reach.

  • Teacher: Sarah Schoen

    Topics include basic botany, soils, growing annuals, perennials, trees and shrubs, fruits and vegetables, lawns, pests and diseases of plants, plant classification, and selected subjects of local interest. We will learn the different planting “zones”, how our food is produced and affects the environment; as well as students will get to experience growing some of their own species from seed.

  • Teacher: Jon Streeter

    Personal finance is a vital skill for high schoolers to learn that is sadly not taught in many traditional schools. This class will give students the tools to look after their money, prepare them for the ups and downs in the economy, and teach them about investment opportunities and the importance of balancing saving, spending, and giving. Each module begins with in-class lessons to teach the fundamentals of an aspect of personal finance; they are then followed with application exercises both during and outside of class. The course is designed for high school students in any grade, and there are no formal prerequisites. However, as there is some math involved in personal finance, students are recommended to at least be enrolled in Algebra I if they are taking this class.

  • Teacher: Jodi Smith

    This course is meant to help prepare students for college readiness assessments such as the SAT and ACT. In addition to reviewing the critical reading, writing and math skills necessary for success on college entrance exams, students will also explore prospective careers and requirements for their chosen field of study. There will be an optional mock-exam opportunity in January or February.

    This course is recommended for advanced 10th or 11th grade students. Required prerequisites include English 9 (Grammar & Composition), Algebra I and Geometry. Preferred prerequisites include English 10 and Algebra II, but at least concurrent enrollment is required for those courses. With the upcoming transition to a purely digital SAT format, there will be no paper textbook for this course. We will be utilizing various online platforms for homework and practice, so access to a computer with reliable internet is essential.

  • Teacher: Leigh Anne Silva
