Placement Process One critical factor for restful learning is the proper placement of students. If you are unsure which level is the best fit for your student, reach out to the instructor you are considering. Once registered, anticipate contact regarding placement evaluations from instructors by May 15th and throughout the summer. Students must be enrolled to enter the placement process. Early placement exams may allow time for tutoring or additional review based on the outcomes. See more about placement evaluations in our Student-Parent Handbook.

Novare Science Placement If placement evaluation is needed, please anticipate contact from instructors by May 15th and throughout the summer. Students must be enrolled in a course to receive a placement assessment. Learn more about the Novare Science placement.

Physics Modeling Nature is a preparatory course for 11-12th grade students who aspire to pursue a technical career. Students who will be taking physics in college toward a stem degree will want to take this course to provide a big picture without the demands of Calculus. It is similar to the AP Physics 1 and 2 courses developed by the College Board. Students should have completed Algebra I and have a basic knowledge of Trigonometry to use this book. Additionally, Modeling Nature will incorporate the essential historical background to enhance awareness of the legacy and present-day community of scientists.

Students must read the text, take notes, memorize, and be able to express themselves through essay questions and written laboratory reports. They must have the maturity to study regularly and keep pace with the course.

Students enrolled in this course will complete Quantitative Laboratory Experiments and written reports that adhere to a specific rubric for scientific writing. The student completing this course earns one high school course credit.
