Course Description: Do you have a flare for designing and decorating? If so, this course will show you how to turn your interests and skills into a career. From professionals who own their own business to those working within a larger company, interior designers do it all—from planning the color scheme to choosing furniture and light fixtures—with the end goal of creating a space where people can live or work comfortably, safely, and happily.

You’ll learn about color, texture, trends and styles over time, how homes are built, and “green” options for homes and businesses. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to work with a client to meet their unique needs and style requirements. This course will help you to identify parts of interior design that are most interesting to you, helping you to chart the path for your future.

 

Mathematical Reasoning (2nd Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free
Calendar Jan 22, 2025

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   2nd Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Passing with a “C” or better in Geometry or Integrated Math 2 (and/or ACT of 17 or better)

Course Description: All college students, regardless of their college major, need to be able to make reasonable decisions about fiscal, environmental, and health issues that require quantitative reasoning skills. An activity-based approach is used to explore numerical relationships, graphs, proportional relationships, algebraic reasoning, and problem-solving using linear, exponential and other mathematical models. Students will develop conceptual and procedural tools that support the use of key mathematical concepts in a variety of contexts. This course may be used as the first of a two part sequence that ends with Quantitative Reasoning as the capstone general education math requirement.

                                       

Physics (2nd Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free
Calendar Jan 22, 2025

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   2nd Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 10-12

Prerequisites: None

Course Description: This course provides a comprehensive survey of all key areas: physical systems, measurement, kinematics, dynamics, momentum, energy, thermodynamics, waves, electricity, magnetism, and more. The course uses a storyline structure that connects to real-world phenomena, and answers questions like: How can we design more reliable systems to meet our communities’ energy needs?; How do forces in Earth’s interior determine what will happen to the surface we see?; What can we do to make driving safer for everyone?; How have collisions with objects from space changed Earth in the past, and how could they affect our future?; and How do we use radiation in our lives, and is it safe for humans?

 

Pre-Algebra (2nd Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free
Calendar Jan 22, 2025

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   1st Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 9-12

Course Description: In this course, students take a broader look at computational and problem-solving skills while learning the language of algebra. Students extend their understanding of ratio to develop an understanding of proportions and solve problems. Students extend their understanding of numbers and properties of operations to include rational numbers. Signed rational numbers are contextualized and students use rational numbers in constructing expressions and solving equations. Students derive formulas and solve two-dimensional area problems including the area of composite figures. Students also investigate chance processes through experimental and theoretical probability models.

Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry (2nd Semester of a 2-semester course)

Free
Calendar Jan 22, 2025

Register for Free. Please have the correct billing details available to provide during registration.

Be sure to register for both semesters.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course   2nd Semester of a 2-semester course

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Geometry and Algebra II (or equivalents)    

Course Description:Pre-calculus weaves together concepts of algebra and geometry into a preparatory course for calculus. The course focuses on the mastery of critical skills and exposure to new skills necessary for success in subsequent math courses. Topics include quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, radical, polynomial, and rational functions; matrices; and conic sections in the first semester. The second semester covers an introduction to infinite series, trigonometric ratios, functions, and equations; inverse trigonometric functions; applications of trigonometry, including vectors; polar equations and polar form of complex numbers; arithmetic of complex numbers; and parametric equations.                                                                

Spanish 1 (2nd Semester of 2 semester class)

Free
Calendar Jan 22, 2025

Sign up for both semesters!

No fee is required upfront; however, billing information will need to be provided as part of the enrollment process.

Course Length: Yearlong Course

Credit: 1.0 credit

Grades: 9-12

Prerequisite(s): None

Course Description: Second Semester of two-semester course Students begin their introduction to Spanish by focusing on the four key areas of world language study: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Each unit consists of a new vocabulary theme and grammar concept, reading and listening comprehension activities, speaking and writing activities, multimedia cultural presentations, and interactive activities and practices which reinforce vocabulary and grammar. Students should expect to be actively engaged in their own language learning; become familiar with common vocabulary terms and phrases; participate in simple conversations and respond appropriately to basic conversational prompts; analyze and compare cultural practices, products, and perspectives of various Spanish-speaking countries; and take frequent assessments by which their language progression can be monitored.

Note: Students who have already succeeded in Middle School Spanish 2 should enroll in Spanish II                                                                                                                                                                                              

Spanish 2 (2nd Semester of 2 semester class)

No fee is required upfront; however, billing information will need to be provided as part of the enrollment process.

Course Length:  Yearlong Course 

2nd Semester of 2-semester course

Credit:  1.0 credit 

Grades: 9-12

Prerequisite(s): Spanish I; Middle School Spanish 1 and 2 (or equivalents)

Course Description: Students continue their study of Spanish by further expanding their knowledge of key vocabulary topics and grammar concepts. Students not only begin to comprehend listening and reading passages more fully, but they also start to express themselves more meaningfully in both speaking and writing. Each unit consists of a new vocabulary theme and grammar concept, reading and listening comprehension activities, speaking and writing activities, multimedia cultural presentations, and interactive activities and practices which reinforce vocabulary and grammar. There is a strong emphasis on providing context and conversational examples for the language concepts presented in each unit. Students should expect to be actively engaged in their own language learning; understand common vocabulary terms and phrases; use a wide range of grammar patterns in their speaking and writing; participate in conversations and respond appropriately to conversational prompts; analyze and compare cultural practices, products, and perspectives of various Spanish-speaking countries; and take frequent assessments by which their language progression can be monitored. By Semester 2, the course is conducted almost entirely in Spanish.
