Story Crafting: Mythology and Folklore
Learn from mythologies and folklore around the world and create a fantasy world of your own, complete with its own mythologies!
While surveying the mythology of earth's ancient people, from the Sumerian to the Roman, you will craft an original world story as you participate in a fictional archaeological dig. From its origin myth to the culturally iconic details, like flags and songs and creatures, you'll come understand the motives and concerns of these mythical people.

Accelerated Investigative Biology
Does your child need a high school lab science credit?
This class will be a fast moving, twice a week class, earning 1 credit over the summer.
Investigate our amazing living world!
During semester 1* we will study the microscopic life around and inside us, using the Habits of a Scientist as we study the Kingdoms Protista, Monera, and Fungi, and investigate the cell, DNA, genetics, and cellular chemistry. Microscopic images, document studies, activities, discussion, and touching on the scientists who have helped discover what we know so far will make Biology come alive!
