PETspedition

The Great PETSpedition is a life science expedition that uses pets as an entry point to explore biology, behavior, and human-animal relationships. Students investigate body systems, domestication, artificial selection, and animal intuition while developing skills in project management, scientific inquiry, and communication.

The expedition is designed to be hands-on, curiosity-driven, and flexible, with final projects ranging from veterinary case studies to pet care guides and ethical shelter designs. It’s a playful yet rigorous approach to life science that meets students where they’re at—through the animals they know and love.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone and other ecosystems have a delicate balance... but can an apex predator change the entire dynamic?
This expedition explores the historic reintroduction of gray wolves to Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1990s and the profound impact it had on the park’s ecosystem, local communities, and national environmental policy.

Students will examine the ecological concept of a trophic cascade—the ripple effect predators have throughout an ecosystem—and how predator-prey dynamics influence populations of elk, beavers, and even plant life.

This expedition offers a comprehensive look at one of the world’s most renowned wildlife conservation efforts, highlighting both its ecological significance and the real-world challenges it continues to face.

From calculating totals and averages to comparing progress with benchmarks and projecting your success, you’ll become a pro at using decimals, fractions, ratios, and percentages to plan and achieve.

By the end, you’ll not only reach your goal but also have a personalized roadmap showing how math helped you get there. It’s time to take charge of your goals and see how math can power your progress!

The Campus of Tomorrow

What if you could design the perfect home for The Classical Academies?

Create a virtual campus where every space fuels creativity and connection. From classrooms to chill zones, use math to bring your vision to life and redefine what a school can be!

In this project, you’ll design the ultimate virtual campus for The Classical Academies—a space that reflects our innovative spirit and inspires creativity. This is your chance to reimagine the perfect online learning hub.

Start by planning a budget, using math to make thoughtful decisions about tools, resources, and designs. Then, map out your virtual campus by designing spaces like classrooms, collaborative lounges, and creative studios using geometric shapes, angles, and coordinates. Finally, apply your math skills to calculate areas, volumes, and surface areas—ensuring every part of your campus is functional, efficient, and engaging.

By the end, you’ll present your vision for the future of The Classical Academies—a math-powered masterpiece that brings our community together in a virtual world like no other!

Our Body The City

Better health, safer cities, tastier food.

The key to the future may be inside us all. Ever wondered why your skin glows, how your taste buds recognize flavors, or which cells help send those messages to your brain? If your cells could talk, what would your brain cells say to your muscle cells? Join us on an adventure to understand the inner workings of the human body.

In this 12-week expedition, students will study the human body—its organs, tissues, and cells. But they won’t stop at basic understanding: they’ll develop creative projects as diverse as humanity itself. Imagine using the liver to design an ideal factory, cells as the foundation for new therapies, or the circulatory system as inspiration for a cutting-edge plumbing or transit network.

We’ll explore why the body makes millions of new cells every second, and why skin cells regenerate quickly while nerve cells do not. Along the way, students will draw analogies between the human body and what makes factories, companies, and cities function effectively. Each organ, system, and cell becomes part of a bigger metaphor.

Through hands-on investigations using Foldscopes, interactive discussions, and project-based learning, students will uncover the specialized roles of cells—and the real-world lessons they offer for innovation, health, and design.
