Algebra I
Pre-Requisites: M/J Math II Advanced or M/J Pre-Algebra
Credits: 1.0 (per segment)
Estimated Completion Time: 2 segments / 32-36 weeks
Description
Algebra I is the foundation--the skills acquired in this course contain the basic knowledge needed
for all future high school math courses. The material covered in this course is important, but
everyone can do it. Anyone can have a good time solving the hundreds of real-world problems
algebra can help answer. Each module in this course is presented in a step-by-step way right on
the computer screen. Hands-on labs make the numbers, graphs, and equations more real. The
content in this course is tied to real-world applications like sports, travel, business, and health.
This course is designed to give students the skills and strategies to solve all kinds of
mathematical problems. Students will also acquire the confidence needed to handle everything
high school math has in store for them.

Grading Policy
To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can
learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the
course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons,
multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are
expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When
teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
Biology I
Pre-Requisites: None
Credits: 1.0 (per segment)
Estimated Completion Time: 2 segments / 32-36 weeks
Description
This course guides students through the study of living and non-living systems and how they
interact with one another. Students explore the world they live in by posing questions and
seeking answers through scientific inquiry. Discovery takes place through observation and data
collection. The students will be introduced to the structure, function, diversity, and evolution of
living matter. This is a course with real relevance. It encourages curiosity and provides
opportunity for students to work on hands on lab activities and develop relationships through
collaboratively learning. Engaging in the study of biological science broadens the picture of the
world around us.

Description
In English I, students take a journey through important concepts–the Unknown, Equality,
Identity, Opportunity, and Understanding–to learn the foundations of communication and
analysis. In each unit of the course, students explore a variety of STEM-related literature,
including genre fiction, poetry, non-fiction, and speeches. Through the study of this writing,
students hone their own skills in communication and analysis. To facilitate engagement and
academic responsibility, students are encouraged to make choices at different points in the

Grading Policy
To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can
learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the
course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons,
multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are
expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When
teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
