Ocean exploration has exploded in the last few decades due to advances in technology that
make it possible to explore the ocean depths and to go where no one has gone before. The Marine Science Academy will equip future explorers with the skills needed to unlock the secrets of the ocean. Ocean study requires knowledge of biology, chemistry, geology, and physics and prepares students for further studies in these exciting fields.
Students in the Marine Biology program not only take courses in marine sciences, biology and environmental science, but each student also gets extensive hands on experiences in real life situations. Our Marine Biology program has partnerships with St. Andrews Bay Watch, Marine Institute staff, Florida Fish and Wildlife scientists, and Gulf World Marine Institute Staff. Students who like to build shorelines, stand in the water working with local ecosystems and wildlife, cleaning-preserving and growing oysters, sea grass, scallops, and more, will enjoy this program.
Classes include:
- Marine Science 1
- Marine Science 2 Honors
- Environmental Science or AP ®
- Biology Regular and Honors and/or AP Biology/Genetics Honors
