English

Academy students are required to complete four semesters of English classes. Two composition courses (English 111 and 112), an Oral Communications course, and a literature course of their choice.

In English 111, one may expect to read quite a few essays demonstrating the type of essay you are to write. You will be required to write personal profiles, philosophy papers, research papers, and memoirs. I'm actually just doing this by memory, so someone, fix this.

Math

Biology

The Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics, and Computing requires that General Biology or an equivalent be taken by all students. For the Discoverers and Voyagers, either one other biology course such as General Zoology, General Botany, or General Microbiology OR a second computer programming course. The proposed curriculum changes for the class of 2007 requires that students take General Biology and General Microbiology.

Chemistry

Physics

Students typically take two semesters of Fundamentals of Classical Physics during their senior year. Both of these are include four hours of lecture and one hour of lab.

Others

In addition to the above, students are expected to take a 3 hour Government course, Freshmen Seminar, and Colloquium.
