Play Production
A year long elective class. Students will explore the process of staging a theatrical show. This includes play analysis, publicity, and technical theatre disciplines. The members of this class will serve in the lead production team roles for our fall Radio Play and our spring production of Alice in Wonderland.
American History
A year long elective class. American history is a required high school course for students matriculating to many Colleges and Universities. This course will cover pre-colonial history through the modern era. The time frame will correlate with that of the World History class. We conclude our year around the Raegan administration to allow sufficient distance for historical analysis.
Modern History
The Modern period is associated with fundamental changes from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries. The period begins with the end of Pre-modern age and while this era continues to present day, we will end with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Literature is integrated into this course and novels will include Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Around the World in 80 Days, and Night by Elie Wiesel.

PASSION PROJECTS
What is a Passion Project?
A passion project is not defined by the parent or instructor. It is your opportunity to control your education and learn through something you are passionate about.
A passion project should excite and motivate you. You could decide to establish a business or Nor For Profit organization, write a blog or book, start a community initiative, undertake independent research, or invent something.
