Service Description
High School Environmental Science Instructor: Molly Arnold Grades 9-12 Tuition: $45 monthly Supply Fee: $20 per semester Tuesdays 10:40am August 26 - December 9th (No Class Oct 14 & Nov 25) This Environmental Science course explores the interconnectedness of humans, nature, and the environment through the lens of three influential books: The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan, Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, and Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. Students will examine the impact of human activity on the natural world, looking at topics such as food systems, sustainability, and ecological relationships. The Omnivore's Dilemma invites students to critically consider where our food comes from, the environmental and ethical implications of food choices, and how industrial agriculture impacts the planet. Braiding Sweetgrass blends indigenous knowledge and scientific ecology to explore the relationship between people and plants, emphasizing reciprocity, respect, and stewardship of the Earth. Silent Spring focuses on the dangers of pesticides and the rise of environmental awareness, teaching the importance of conservation and the long-term effects of human actions on ecosystems. Through discussions, readings, and projects, students will develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and their roles in creating sustainable solutions. By the end of the course, they will have gained insight into how individual choices, societal systems, and global policies influence the natural world, while fostering a sense of responsibility to protect and restore the environment. High school credit can be issued for this course for transcript purposes. **In addition to the supply fee, students will need to have a copy of each book. New, used, borrowed, physical, audio, digital versions are all acceptable formats.**

Cancellation Policy
Semester Classes: This is a collection of classes where your tuition has been broken into monthly payments and you pay for the whole series before or on the 1st class of each month. There will be no refunds or prorating for missed classes. If a class is missed due to illness or family emergency, the student will be given the option to schedule a make-up class. A student will be provided 3 make-up class opportunities per semester. All make-up lessons are at the availability of an instructor. All make-up lessons must be used within one week of the end of the semester that the absences occurred. Make-Up lessons will consist of making up any missed work during class or a review of concepts taught during the missed class. Students are not entitled to new and/or different content from what they missed in their absence. Students with extenuating circumstances will be handled on a family/student basis. Make-up class requests are based on instructor availability. Make-up policies are a courtesy extended to our students as we know life can throw curveballs. If a student/family chooses to abuse this policy, we reserve the right to revoke make-up opportunities to individuals and/or entire classes. If the whole semester class is canceled by the studio, full refunds will be issued to students. If a single class is cancelled by the studio, a make-up date will be provided. High demand classes may require a deposit to hold your spot. This deposit will be applied to your overall tuition. No refunds will be given on deposits to hold your student's spot should you cancel.
