Beneath the Waves: Marine Biology is a full-year high school marine biology course that explores ocean science, the diversity of marine life, and the interconnected nature of marine ecosystems through engaging lessons and hands-on labs. Students develop a deeper understanding of the oceans while viewing God’s creation through a Biblical worldview.

Introduction to Forensic Science: God has given us science to look at the world around us, and the ability to use what we learn to help the justice system stop the guilty parties. Using common household materials and approaching science from a Christian perspective, Introduction to Forensic Science investigates the process of testing or analyzing materials found at a crime scene and explores how forensic scientists evaluate evidence.
