University-Level Science at AURA Academy
When considering a high school, academic rigor is a key consideration because, to get into good universities, one needs to demonstrate superior academic qualifications. It would be even better if those qualifications were translated into college-level credits saving students (and families) considerable time and money. By the end of this school year in June, AURA students will have earned college credit courses in Microbiology, Chemistry, Anatomy and US History! Aura Academy students attend college classes on campus at American University of Health Sciences (AUHS). With its small class sizes and experienced teachers, students do not get lost as they might in a large university class.

Our current students have already earned college credits, no expensive AP® examination required. Wouldn’t your student benefit from this curriculum as well?

AURA’s education seeks to develop learners who understand the world, who understand people, and who have a relationship with God. If you want to understand the world, you need to know physics. Consequently, physics is one of the core courses at AURA. Consistent with the IB inquiry-based education model, physics is more learner-driven at AURA.
"What do I believe in? Why do I believe it? Are those reasons valid?" These are some of the central questions explored in the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course, part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. This course encourages students to critically examine knowledge, question sources, and engage with diverse perspectives.
The music course at AURA provides students with a comprehensive understanding of music as both an art form and a tool for wellness. Students will explore the cultural connections of music, learn foundational guitar techniques, and engage in lectures on music appreciation, history, and theory, including composition.
International Baccalaureate schools like AURA consider languages to be a key component of developing intercultural people: “As a requirement of the DP curriculum, every student learns at least one additional language” (IBO.org). At AURA, we currently offer Arabic with plans to add Spanish this coming year.
