Chemistry students work together to make oxygen. Academy Offers Wide Range of Science Courses Science covers a wide range of subject matter, and at the Academy there are as many different science courses offered, as could be expected of any high school. Richmond offers the usual courses of biology, chemistry, and physics, but for those w ho are oriented toward this field there are also classes in advanced chemistry. It is easy to see how Academy graduates have little trouble with their college science courses. A course is just as good as its instructor, and it is here that Richmond takes greatest pride in its science department. Some of the top instructors in the state and. in some cases, the Southeast are on the faculty of the science department. The sciences are all interesting, but at Richmond they become captivating!
