Science and Math
Science and Math are gifts through which we can study God's creation! Courses at FVL are developed and taught in agreement with this core idea.
Science
Biology, Physics, and Chemistry are recommended for most students planning on attending college.
Requirements
- 3 credits required for graduation
- 3 credits required for college admission
- 2-3 lab science credits - includes Biology, Chemisty/College Chemistry, Physics/College Physics
College Readiness and Math Pathways
College-bound students are considered prepared if they earn satisfactory grades in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2/Trigonometry.
Most colleges strongly prefer a math course beyond Algebra 2/Trigonometry (such as Pre-Calculus) and expect students to take a math course during their senior year (e.g., Algebra 2/Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, or Statistics).
Other students may follow alternative math pathways (Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1A/1B, Geometry AB, Algebra 2), depending on initial placement and course progression.
Graduation & College Requirements
- 3 math credits required for high school graduation
- 4 math credits required for college admission
