Dissection - T3
with Beck Fahey
Ages: 14 - 18
This high school laboratory course offers students a hands-on exploration of animal organs and human systems through guided dissections. By examining organs such as the heart, kidney, brain, and eyeball—with optional specimens like lungs and liver—students will investigate how structure and function are interconnected in living organisms. Each lab integrates careful technique, anatomical terminology, and scientific reasoning, supported by digital models and comparative anatomy discussions aligned with life science standards (NGSS LS1). Throughout the course, students will identify organ structures, analyze system-level interactions, and explore evolutionary adaptations across species. Emphasis is placed on observation, collaboration, documentation, and laboratory safety. By the end of the term, learners will be able to connect microscopic and macroscopic anatomy to biological processes, building a strong foundation for future studies in biology, medicine, or health sciences.

Executive Functions Part 2 (Foundations) - T3
with Audra Eckes
Ages: 11 - 14
We will continue our executive functions journey by reviewing and applying the knowledge we learned in Part 1. Each student will create a current SMART goal (semester-long), and begin to establish systems that will help the student reach their goal. We will determine the strengths and “stretches” (formerly known as weaknesses) of each student and begin to learn how to use the strengths in order to strengthen the stretches. We will use the binders created in Part 1 and work on backpacks as they start to lose their organization. Participation in class is required as is homework. Students must have completed Part 1 or a previous semester of Executive Functions.
Galaxies & the Universe - T3
with AJ Eldred
Ages: 9 - 12
Galaxies and the Universe is a mixed-media class that aims to provide an introduction to astronomical concepts at a late elementary to early middle comprehension level. We will be focusing on the greater stellar bodies, such as black holes, nebulae, and quasars while bringing the concepts back to earth in the form of in-class research and other hands-on activities.
High School Spanish - T3/4
with Sarah Van Hulzen
Ages: 13 - 18
Students are entering this class mid-year. An assessment conversation may be required.
This is a credit-worthy 2-hour Spanish class. It is a full immersion class filled with hands-on activities and learning both written and speaking.
Kingdoms of Life: Elementary Animal and Plant Science - T3
with Rachel Pantke
Ages: 5 - 8
In this exciting science class for learners age 5 -8, we will dive into the wild world of the Animal Kingdom and explore the leafy wonders of the Plant Kingdom. From buzzing bees to towering trees, slimy frogs to spiky cacti — students will discover how living things grow, move, eat, and survive in their own amazing ways. Through hands-on experiments, creative crafts, interactive games, and nature scavenger hunts, students will become junior biologists as they learn how animals and plants are grouped, how they adapt to their environments, and why they’re so important to our planet. Whether you're swinging through the rainforest or tiptoeing through a garden, there's always something incredible to discover in the Kingdoms of Life!
Learning Storytelling from the MCU - T3
with Stephenie Stevens
Ages: 11 - 14
Students will love watching Marvel movies in order to learn the various elements of storytelling. We will cover both basic elements such as characterization, setting, and plot, as well as elements required to compose a compelling story. Assignments will be minimal other than watching the movies and making a few notes, and will include creating an oral story and a written story. Please Note that some adult themes are found in some of the Marvel movies, including a great deal of violence.
Literary Detective Agency - T3
with Seema Khan
Ages: 12 - 18
Literary Analysis-Grab your magnifying glass and step into the world of literary investigation! In Literary Detective Agency, students become story sleuths—uncovering clues, analyzing motives, and revealing the hidden meanings behind every tale. Together, we’ll read four diverse and thought-provoking books: A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher, a magical mystery where even bread can be a weapon for justice; Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie, an imaginative adventure about the power of storytelling; Animal Farm by George Orwell, a sharp allegory about power and corruption; and It’s Not Bragging If It’s True by Zaila Avant-Garde, a modern memoir about brilliance, resilience, and finding your voice. Through discussion, creative writing, and projects, students will crack literary “case files,” decode symbols and metaphors, and sharpen their analytical skills to see stories not just as readers—but as literary detectives.
