Land & Climate

Through a range of offerings, from hard science courses like Geology, Marine Science, or AP Environmental Science, to social sciences courses such as Environmental Justice or Literature of the Wilderness, students will be able to pursue topics and fields of interest to them as they examine the field of environmental studies. To meet the Land & Climate graduation requirement, a student can take one approved year-long science course, two approved semester-length social science courses, or seek approval in a specified AP course, such as AP Art, AP Seminar, or AP Research. Some courses may require pre-approval by the Land & Climate Committee, and a presentation at the end of the year. All courses in Land & Climate emphasize an interaction with, and understanding of, the land, and how humans interact with and change the climate and environment.
