Expository Writing (4 Sections):

Expository Writing is a foundational course that focuses on developing students' skills in writing clear, organized, and persuasive essays. Emphasis will be placed on critical thinking, research methods, and rhetorical strategies to engage and persuade readers across various genres and contexts. This course will also focus on culturally responsive and relevant pedagogies that empower program participants to elevate and validate their lived experiences.

Integrated Math 1 (2 sections):

Integrated Math 2 is the second course in a high school math sequence that builds upon foundational math concepts by focusing on deeper exploration of quadratic equations, functions, equations, and inequalities, alongside further development of geometric concepts like similarity and trigonometry, while integrating probability and statistics, all while applying these skills to solve real-world problems.

Introduction to Business (1 section):

This course will introduce students to academic areas of study in business such as accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, management, and marketing. The course should challenge students to consider opportunities in which business models can be used to support the development of community wealth and challenge traditional notions of business through an equity lens.

Introduction to Engineering (1 section):

This course will introduce students to academic areas of study in engineering such as architectural, mechanical, electrical, civil, and others. The course should challenge students to consider how engineering principles can be used to enhance, develop, and impact communities with a lens aimed at increasing community's capacity, social justice, and equity through engineering.

Art (1 section):

This course will focus on understanding the elements of art and principles of design as a basis for composition. Students will explore a variety of artists, art processes and materials such as drawing, painting, printmaking, two & three-dimensional design, and digital art.
