Principles of Biology
Students will be encouraged to expose themselves to the Science and then to draw their own conclusions. We will broadly discuss a variety of topics relating to biological systems. A basic exposure to Natural Science with emphasis in areas that the students choose to focus. We will nurture a confidence in the students with the material so each student is able to continue their studies as is necessary when moving forward into a school or career path.

Prerequisites
First, a thorough understanding of, and ability to define what Life is. (Just kidding. It can’t be done). Second, a thirst for finding where one's own concept of reality is flawed and the ability to adjust that perception to see things more clearly. We can choose what we believe but only when we see things clearly can we know the truth. Note: Wikepdia is our friend- Some internet research may need to be supervised by parents as the internet can be too suggestive when it comes to some topics.
