Science Program Icon
Science Program

Our Science Program empowers students to understand the world through a scientist’s lens, pairing big-picture concepts with hands-on labs that build real investigation and design skills. Mentors help students connect scientific ideas to everyday life, explore influential discoveries, and grow confident in thinking critically about modern technological change. Students finish with a durable scientific outlook that shapes how they engage with the world around them.

Math Program Icon
Math Program

You want your student to develop clear, confident problem-solving skills as they engage with mentor-led instruction, real-life applications, and classical math thinking that strengthens their reasoning for both daily life and college readiness.

New for 2025-26, we’re taking math learning to the next level with Derivita, a cutting-edge math platform that supports real understanding and provides step-by-step feedback. Derivita helps students learn from mistakes and build confidence. It also gives mentors real-time insight into student strengths, smarter quizzes that close skill gaps, and tools to personalize each learning journey.

Preparatory Math Courses (Eligible for high school elective credit, not high school math credit)

Intro to HS Math: A, B

Integrated High School Math Pathway (Recommended)

After years of guiding students along the traditional math pathway (Algebra 1 > Geometry > Algebra 2), we noticed that many of them would reach Algebra 2 with little retention of the algebra concepts they learned in their first year. For that reason, our flagship math program is now an integrated path (or track) in which students study algebra and geometry together for two years—High School Math 1 and High School Math 2—and are then fully primed for High School Math 3 (a.k.a. Algebra 2) and beyond.

High School Math: 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B

Pre-Calculus: A, B

Calculus: A, B (self-paced only)

Traditional High School Math Pathway

If your student has already started along the traditional math pathway and completed part of Algebra 1 or Geometry before coming to Williamsburg, we offer self-paced traditional math courses to smooth the transition to the integrated track and live math courses. Students can continue on the traditional math pathway via self-paced courses or use self-paced courses to transition to the integrated track. Please see the chart below to know which course your student should take to make this transition.

Algebra: 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B (self-paced only)

Geometry: A, B

Pre-Calculus: A, B

Calculus: A, B (self-paced only)

Please note: Due to state requirements, LAU students can no longer enroll in Algebra 1, Algebra 2, or Geometry and receive credit toward graduation.

 PE and Health Icon
PE and Health Program

Many students struggle to navigate all the mixed messages about health, and this program helps them build confident, lifelong habits by pairing personalized fitness planning with mentor-guided growth in physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

World Language Icon
World Language Program

Every learner benefits from understanding how language opens doors to deeper cultural awareness, stronger communication, and meaningful opportunities that support their growth into confident, capable young adults.

Language Arts Program Icon

Great stories reveal how students deepen empathy, refine their writing voice, and gain the confidence to articulate their beliefs with clarity as they explore literature that helps them see both themselves and the world in new ways.

Leadership Program

As your student steps toward adulthood, the High School Leadership Program pairs them with a mentor and meaningful, project-based experiences to build self-awareness, resilience, and practical leadership skills so they can manage their time, keep commitments, form healthy relationships, and move toward college and life with confidence and purpose.

Program_social-studies-a
Social Studies Program

In a world where teens are sorting out their own values amid complex social pressures, this program helps your student grow into an independent thinker who understands human nature, engages thoughtfully with society’s ideas, and gains the confidence to shape their place in the world.

Fine Arts Icon
Fine Arts & Electives

As your student steps toward adulthood, exploring creative and interest-driven electives empowers them to discover new strengths, deepen their artistic abilities, and gain confidence in the passions that set them apart.

Please note that program and course descriptions, as well as reading and materials lists, are subject to change as we continuously improve our curriculum throughout the year. Book and materials lists for the upcoming school year are published in SIS mid to late June. Some courses require subscriptions e.g., Adobe software or online magazines that may not be covered by partner schools. Required books and materials are noted in this document, and in SIS.

Full course syllabi and reading lists are provided to enrolled families and available upon request.

Stories from High School Students

“At the beginning of this semester, I felt incompetent in my math skills. I was too shy to ask questions. But I started to realize this class was different. I started asking questions, first one or two, then more and more. I began to understand math and grew confident with it. Now, I am proud of my newfound ability to take something I don’t understand and work it out until I can do it in my sleep. None of this would have been possible without an environment where learning felt natural and safe. Thank you!”
Claire

“Over the course of this school year, particularly in my Social Leadership class, I have spent a lot more time looking inward and into my behaviors and surroundings. This has been great for me, as I have had the chance to look deeper and gain a greater understanding of myself, how I work, and what I can improve on. Self-mastery has become a very important aspect of my life through this process, and I've been able to improve a heck of a lot this year and understand more of myself.”
Triton
10th Grade
“As I have been completing mid-term assignments, I've had some breakthroughs in the way I've been able to juggle work, school, and sports. I felt like this was a transformational learning experience because I was able to implement things I've learned in some of my classes to help with stress management and be much more productive. Very cool!”
Ashton

“I was assigned to be a group leader of the Kurdish Delegation in the U.N. Peace Talks Simulation in my Geography & World Events class with Mrs. Stevenson. It challenged me to step up and lead, and I learned so much and had so much fun! In preparing for our talks, I got to know my classmates more outside of class, and I love all of them. Now I feel more comfortable talking on mic during class too!”
