Maryknoll School is excited to be partnering with Catholic Virtual, a fully accredited Catholic online program, to offer high school courses this summer. The Catholic Virtual platform gives students the flexibility of learning distantly while still earning one or half credit towards Maryknoll graduation requirements.

The following courses will be taught by an instructor online 3 days a week (Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays) for 30 minutes between the hours of 8:00am-12:00pm (exact times TBD). The academic expectation for these virtual courses is the same as in person summer one-credit courses: students should expect to spend 4-5 hours each day either in an online session or completing independent assignments. Instructors will be available to assist students via email through the Catholic Virtual portal as needed. ALGEBRA I

Grades 9-11 Tuition: $850.00 (1 credit) This course is the foundations for high school mathematics. Students will develop fluency in working with linear equations, tables, graphs, inequalities and more. PHYSICS

Grades 11-12 Tuition: $850.00 (1 credit) This course examines the relationship between matter and energy and ow the two interact. Students explore physics concepts such as thermodynamics, magnetism, waves, and sound, and more. *Completion and B or higher grades in Algebra II & Chemistry PRE-CALCULUS

Grades 11-12 Tuition: $850.00 (1 credit) This course prepares students for topics in an elementary Calculus course at the college level. Facility with these topics is especially important for students to study Calculus, Physics, or other sciences, and/or Engineering in college. *completion and B or higher grades in Algebra II VIRTUAL ONE-CREDIT ELECTIVE COURSES

The following courses will be offered as independent study. The academic expectation for these virtual courses is the same as in person summer one-credit courses: students should expect to spend 4-5 hours each day completing independent assignments. Instructors will be available to assist students via email through the Catholic Virtual portal as needed. CREATIVE WRITING

Grades 10-12 Tuition: $850.00 (1 credit) Students will consider the importance of word play exercises in improving their facility with language while building a compelling and creative writing style. Focusing on word nuances and precision, lessons guide students to write in a variety of short modes – including poetry, song lyrics, pose poetry, short stories, and creative nonfiction. Students participate in peer review, during which students learn best practices for participating in writing workshops, and then revise their work using feedback from their peers. The course will also focus on longer works of fiction: short stories, plays, and novels. Students apply what they have learned about writing workshops and revising to the longer pieces of writing they create towards the end of the course.

Grades 10-12 Tuition: $850.00 (1 credit) This test preparation course effectively prepares students for all sections of the SAT exam. Course content is broken into strands, allowing students to focus on each subject extensively before moving on to the next area of study. Within each strand, a diagnostic pretest identifies students’ strengths and weaknesses and tailors a personalized study plan for each test-taker.

VIRTUAL HALF-CREDIT ELECTIVE COURSES

The following courses will be offered as independent study. The academic expectation for these virtual courses is the same as in person summer one-credit courses: students should expect to spend 2-3 hours each day completing independent assignments. Instructors will be available to assist students via email through the Catholic Virtual portal as needed. BUSINESS LAW

Grades: 9-12 Tuition: $600.00 (1/2 credit) In this course, students will learn about the American legal system as they examine ethics, court systems, criminal law, and torts. They will explore how the court systems work together, and which types of misconduct result in going to court. As they progress through the course, students will also gain an understanding of what is right and wrong in business actions and employment law. Study will focus on the formation of a business and the basic legal issues associated with each type of business. CYBERSECURITY

Grades: 9-12 Tuition: $600.00 (1/2 credit) In this course, students will learn about the practice of protecting networks, systems, and programs from digital attacks. They will better understand the aim of these attacks, such as destroying information, extorting money and resources, or disrupting business operations. They will learn about the challenges and opportunities that implementing cybersecurity measures can present. As attackers become more innovative, it is more important than ever to have effective cybersecurity channels in place to counter them. Students will learn about countermeasures and role recovery and their integral function in the cybersecurity realm. Additionally, students will learn what makes certain networks and systems more vulnerable to attacks. They will become adept at identifying potential viruses, worms, threats, and malware. The Cybersecurity course acts as a foundation on which to build extensive knowledge about threats to digital security.

STUDY SKILLS & STRATEGIES

Tuition: $600.00 (1/2 credit) Grades: 9-12 Tuition: $600.00 (1/2 credit) This course equips students with skills and understandings critical to effective learning. Using a unique approach to the traditional topic of study skills, this course weaves understanding regarding the role of the brain in learning to the instruction of discrete learning skills and strategies. Moving beyond a list of good tips and ideas, this course will challenge students to develop intentional approaches to learning. Students will be required to make connections between the strategies and skills they learn in this course and the implementation of those strategies and skills in other coursework. Upon completion of the course, students will have learned a variety of specific learning skills and strategies, gained a greater understanding of their own learning preferences, and become prepared to develop and implement specific learning and study plans for any academic course or other learning needs.
