High School Biology(9th - 12th)

Tuition: $160 per month for 9 months
Prerequisite: Algebra 1 or may be taken concurrently
Course description: This course will be held for 2 hours per week for 32 weeks. This course will emphasize the development of student's scientific process skills, laboratory techniques, and an understanding of the fundamental principles of living organisms. Topics include cell structure and function, genetics and heredity, diversity of living organisms and their ecological roles, and an introduction to animal structure and function. As scientific learners, students will analyze the data collected from experiments, answer questions, and write a lab report.
