Environmental Science

A Complete Secular, Lab-Based High School Environmental Science Course

Prepare your high school student to think critically about the complex relationship between humans and the natural world with this comprehensive, college-preparatory Environmental Science course. Designed for grades 9–12, this full-year curriculum provides a rigorous, evidence-based exploration of environmental systems, sustainability, ecology, natural resources, climate, agriculture, energy, conservation, and environmental policy—all from a secular perspective grounded in current scientific understanding.

Students investigate real-world environmental challenges through hands-on and virtual laboratory experiences, research, scientific analysis, data interpretation, writing, and project-based learning. Rather than simply memorizing facts, students develop the critical thinking and analytical skills expected in college-level science courses.

Designed for independent learners, this curriculum provides clear daily lessons while allowing parents to serve as facilitators instead of subject-matter experts. Every lesson uses free online resources—no textbook required.
