BUSINESS The Business department curriculum offers four areas of study — clerical training, bookkeeping and accounting, secretarial, and sales management. Within each area there are suggested programs for a student to follow, with the ultimate goal of a saleable skill for today’s job market or continuing education. Students at Bellows Falls should remember that whatever their post high school plans are, a knowledge of the busi- ness world and how it operates will be important to them. SCIENCE The Science Department at B.F.U.H.S. attempts to offer a comprehensive program, designed to meet the needs of the students. In the past two years, we have instituted offerings In physical sci- ence 502 and biological science 513 which allows a student to progress at his or her “own rate” within reason. The student who is planning to go on to post-sec- ondary education is encouraged to take our se- quence of four lab-oriented offerings: I.P.S. 500, 1 biology 512, chemistry 524, and physics 522. 1 One of our future goals will be to attempt to co- ordinate the science offerings in grades nine through twelve with an emphasis on the environ- mental aspects.

ACCELERATED ACHIEVEMENT CENTER In keeping with the school’s philosophy that every student has the right to an educational program responsive to his needs, the Accel- erated Achievement Center was established. The purpose of the center is to accelerate the learning of students experiencing aca- demic problems in the areas of Written Expression, Reading and Math. A combination of small, daily classes and individualized instruction helps the student catch up more quickly than he might in a large group setting. 18
