Forms 3 & 4 (grades 7–12)

Wading Deeper into Beauty and Truth

In middle and high school, students hone foundational intellectual and moral habits through BHSC’s university-model schedule of core academic and enrichment classes.

Upper school students are invited to begin to grow into maturity as Christian scholars as they encounter vital ideas, delve deeper into wonder, and develop camaraderie in the shared pursuit of goodness, truth, and beauty. Through collaboration with peers and mentorship from professional teachers, students make connections across disciplines and tackle challenging course content in community.

BHSC’s wide variety of classes offer both depth and breadth. Core academic classes challenge students to meet or exceed college-prep standards, and enrichment classes offer a panorama for the imagination.

All BHSC instructors are vetted, professional, and experienced classroom teachers who are eager to create a delightful learning environment where students thrive. Parents choose from full-program enrollment options or select classes a la carte to best suit their family’s needs. Some classes are tuition-free!

Full Slate of Academic & Enrichment Classes

BHSC offers a full academic and enrichment program for middle school and high school students including dual-enrollment classes, advanced math and science, integrated humanities, modern and classical world languages, traditional electives, and our Charlotte-Mason-inspired Panorama classes.

Dual-Enrollment Humanities

BHSC is excited to offer dual-enrollment classes through a partnership with The Academy at Houston Christian University (HCU).

2023–24 dual-credit offerings:

2024–25 dual-credit offering:

College-prep Math

Blueboonet’s math program offers a rigorous, college-preparatory math trajectory for 1st-grade math through Calculus. For middle and high school students we offer the following classes: (Note that placement texts are required for all BHSC math classes.)

Accelerated Science

BHSC primarily uses the Novare series of science textbooks for middle and high school because it combines up-to-date science with a Christian worldview and an educational approach that aims for wonder, integration, and mastery.

  1. Life Science (for 5th–8th grades)
  2. Earth Science (for middle school)
  3. Physical Science  (for middle school) 
  4. Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry  (for students who have completed Algebra 1) 
  5. General Biology (for high school)
  6. Chemistry for Accelerated Students  (for students concurrently enrolled in Algebra 2 or higher; not offered in 2024-25) 
  7. Physics: Modeling Nature (for students who have completed Algebra II with Trigonometry)
Integrated Humanities

Our humanities classes include interdisciplinary discussion-based classes with primary sources and broad reading lists; traditional logic, writing, and literature classes; hands-on geography; and history through living books.

Classical & Modern World Languages

We offer both Latin and Spanish through dynamic, engaging curriculum to help students progress toward fluency, and we encourage students to take both tracks for classical and modern language mastery:

Traditional Electives

Traditional enrichment classes for Forms 3 & 4 in 2024–25 include the following:

Charlotte-Mason-Inspired Panorama Classes

Expanding the student’s skills, understanding, and love, our Charlotte-Mason-inspired Panorama classes aim for delight and have little to no homework:

Check out our subject highlight below for more details about particular classes.

Subject Highlight: Accelerated Science

BHSC primarily uses the Novare series of science textbooks for middle and high school because it combines up-to-date science with a Christian worldview and an educational approach that aims for wonder, integration, and mastery. The Novare curriculum aims to nurture fascinated students who deeply understand and remember their science. In particular, BHSC follows Novare’s accelerated pathway for high school.

For middle school Life Science, BHSC uses Exploring the World of Biology, from John Hudson Tiner. The curriculum harmonizes with our gentle, Charlotte Mason, nature study approach while offering substantive coverage of the subject at an age-appropriate level.

BHSC offers the following classes in rotation (rather than all at once every year):

  1. Life Science (for 5th–8th grades; uses Memoria Press Science curriculum)
  2. Earth Science (for middle school)
  3. Physical Science  (for middle school) 
  4. Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry  (for students who have completed Algebra 1) 
  5. General Biology (for high school)
  6. Chemistry for Accelerated Students  (for students concurrently enrolled in Algebra 2 or higher; not offered in 2024–25) 
  7. NEW! Physics: Modeling Nature (for students who have completed Trigonometry)

For the 2024-25 academic year, BHSC is offering Life Science, Earth Science, Physical Science, Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry, General Biology, and Trigonometry-based Physics.

We are especially excited about Physics, an ideal class for students who love science and aspire to a STEM-oriented college program. Physics and Chemistry teacher, Deborah Whaley, is an honors graduate of Texas A&M University with a B.S. in Biomedical Science and a Secondary Science Composite Teaching Certification. She has taught high school science—including Physical Science, Chemistry, Physics, and the International Baccalaureate Physics program—for several years in both public school and homeschool class settings.
