High School Courses

In this class, students learn how to optimize the use of the 3D printer for personal and professional projects. Students start with general engineering principles such as designing a product to solve a problem or identified need, developing specs for the project, and executing the creation through to revisions and finishing touches. Students learn that all specs in a project are not equal, and learn to complete cost-benefit analyses on things like materials and design. Lastly, students learn how to use CAD programs to use existing templates and create their own designs, and how to maximize their layout for the 3D print.

For students interested in technology, virtual reality, video game design, marketing, television and motion pictures, or digital imaging- this course is a great foundation. Students gain an understanding of graphic design and illustration through use of 3D animation software to create virtual 3D design projects. Students hone skills on drawing, photography, and 3D construction techniques and develop the skills to navigate a 3D digital modeling workspace.

This course provides a basic introduction to the elements of acting, including physical, vocal, spatial, textual analysis, and production foundations. It addresses some of the cross- cultural aspects of the art of acting, explores prominent theories of acting technique, and emphasizes solo works, both original and scripted. Improvisation is taught as both an end in itself and a tool for deepening the scripted acting experience.

The foundation of math, this course focuses both on computational competency and conceptual understanding with application. Topics include solving, graphing, and describing diverse equations, linear equations and inequalities, systems of equations, exponents and exponential functions, quadratic and polynomial functions, and data analysis.

This course covers all Algebra 1 content over 2 years, providing the time and space for reinforcement without the pressure of completing the content in one year.

Students build on their foundation, comparing commonalities among families of functions including linear, quadratic, polynomial, radical, exponential, logarithmic, rational, and trigonometric functions. Students are introduced to operations with complex numbers, trigonometric identities, and further statistical studies.

Students learn not only the technical aspects of “signing” such as technique, vocabulary, and grammar, but also about the culture of the Deaf Community. Students build their vocabulary and learn greetings and expressions.

Building on ASL 1, this course is taught primarily in ASL. The focus is on advanced vocabulary and building conversational skills.

This course expands the student’s vocabulary while focusing on non-manual markers. Students will learn more about Deaf culture by participating in local Deaf Community events.
