Calculus C – a study of multivariable calculus. The semester provides a synthesis of functions (especially in parametric form), vectors, matrices and single-variable calculus. Additional topics in calculus are covered as time permits.

Advanced Math Topics – an introduction to abstract mathematics. The focus is on symmetry and invariance, using geometric figures, matrices and transformations as models for groups.

Physics II – a continuation of the previous physics course using calculus in problem- solving. Some topics in mechanics are revisited using the calculus, culminating in the solution of the Kepler problem. Other topics include special relativity, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics and particle physics. Students create problem-solving programs in MATLAB.

Humane Letters Seminar – focuses on a close reading and discussion of texts in medieval and modern literature, philosophy, theology and poetry. Students write approximately 6 essays per semester and are expected to write with increasing depth, grace and sophistication. Reading list: Augustine, The Spirit and the Letter; Luther, Commentary on Galatians (selections) ; Flannery O’Connor, Parker’s Back; Thomas Aquinas, Treatise on Law; Shakespeare, Macbeth; Locke, Second Treatise on Civil Government; Rousseau, On the Social Contract; John Stuart Mill, On Liberty; Dante, Inferno; James Agee, A Death in the Family; Carver, A Small, Good Thing; Montaigne, In Defense of Raymond Sebond; Shakespeare, Hamlet; Descartes, Meditations; Wallace Stevens, "The Idea of Order at Key West” and “Sunday Morning”; Ethan Canin, The Palace Thief; Hegel, Reason in History; Marx, Alienated Labor and Private Property and Communism; Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov.

Drama II – begins with a review of the basics of acting by engaging in small workshops. Then they study and produce a play from the classical or Shakespearean corpus. Set-building techniques are more throughly studied and applied, acting skills are honed, and other aspects of production (costumes, lighting, etc.) are more elaborate than they were in the junior year.

Art IV – continues to develop techniques learned in previous years. Students design and execute an original work based on techniques and art samples from their Art History courses.

Art History II – examines art from the 15th century to the present. Students expand their ability to employ artistic vocabulary, formally analyze a work of art and appreciate art in its historical context.

World Issues –This course has been designed to encourage the students to take their skills as critical thinkers and apply them to current issues encountered by humanity in different regions in the world. In our Mission Statement, we say, "a key element to education is to educate our children so that they will be capable of extending God's wise rule to the world." This course helps the students learn current issues and come to understand the depth and complexity of the issues facing humanity. We also ask the students to address the issues by thinking of what can be done to alleviate human suffering, poverty, disease and death.

Modern Language II – continuation of Modern Language I from junior year.
