This college-level, double-period course explores biology through four big ideas: evolution, energy and matter processing, information storage and transmission, and biological systems interactions. The curriculum is lab-intensive, with students designing experiments and analyzing data on topics ranging from molecular genetics to ecology.

This rigorous, double-period, college-level chemistry course covers atomic structure, chemical bonding, kinetics, thermodynamics, equilibrium, and acid-base and electrochemistry, with an emphasis on quantitative reasoning and lab-based evidence. Students complete guided-inquiry labs that mirror introductory college chemistry coursework.

This is the core junior-year course for the Software Engineering major, teaching object-oriented programming in Java, including classes, arrays, and 2D array structures, alongside algorithm design and analysis. Students build a portfolio of Java programs while preparing for the AP Computer Science A exam.

This college-level, double-period course examines the interrelationships within the natural world, covering ecosystems, biodiversity, natural resources, pollution, and the environmental and societal impact of human activity. The course includes fieldwork and lab investigations, such as water, soil, and air testing.

This college-level course introduces the four major themes of statistics: exploring data, sampling and experimental design, probability, and statistical inference. Students design studies, analyze real data sets, and learn to draw and justify conclusions using confidence intervals and hypothesis tests.

This senior-year Electrical Engineering major course covers analog circuit analysis, including operational amplifiers, resistor-based circuits, and waveform generation and shaping, complementing the digital-circuit focus of the major's other electronics courses.

This junior-year Physics major course covers the structure and behavior of celestial objects and systems, from stars and planets to galaxies and cosmology, introducing the physics used to study and model the universe.

This pass/fail performing ensemble class develops instrumental technique and musicianship through the rehearsal and performance of a symphonic band repertoire. It's open to students in any grade and can be taken more than once.

This pass/fail performing ensemble class develops vocal technique, sight-reading, and part-singing through the rehearsal and performance of choral repertoire. It's open to students in any grade and can be taken more than once.

This introductory Electrical Engineering major course covers the design of logic systems using digital components, from basic logic gates through combinational and sequential circuits like adders, multiplexers, and flip-flops. Students test circuit designs in simulation software and on breadboards, and by spring semester extend into synchronous counters and state-machine design, with some classes programming FPGAs.

This pass/fail class supports students preparing for competitive mathematics tournaments, covering advanced problem-solving strategies in areas like algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and number theory beyond the standard curriculum. It's open to students across all grade levels who compete on Tech's math team.

This pass/fail performing ensemble class develops string and instrumental technique through the rehearsal and performance of orchestral repertoire spanning classical and contemporary works. It's open to students in any grade and can be taken more than once.

This pass/fail elective develops practical leadership skills through hands-on experience with project management, community service coordination, and school event planning. It's open to students in any grade and can be taken more than once.

Part of the Weston Research Scholars Program, this pass/fail class has sophomores, juniors, and seniors work independently or in small groups, under a research-experienced teacher, to develop an original research question and carry out a project intended for science and engineering competitions or peer-reviewed publication. Students build literature-review, experimental design, and scientific writing skills over the course of the program, often including independent summer work.
