Electives
Astronomy
The Final Frontier is exactly why this class was crafted. Generations have been fascinated with space especially those that lived during the space race. This class will ignite the passion of the great unknown.-- Mr. Robert Moorsehead
Introduction to Engineering
The first engineering class for our brand new S.T.E.M. Academy. -- Mr. Dave Enrico
Marine Biology
Who doesn’t love the beach or water! Two amazing bodies of water surround us in North Bergen with the diversity and wonderment of life in both the Hudson River and The Meadowlands. How are they connected? Some say space is the
final frontier but we know more about the moon then we do our own oceans. -- Ms. Barbara Young
Preparation for Careers in Healthcare
This course is structured to first teach students the language of medicine through medical terminology and then, introduce them to the knowledge, basic life support, ethics, and different careers in the allied health programs in college. This class will either inspire or deter
students in pursuing a health career before they enter higher education and waste money on a career they may not be mentally prepared for.-- Ms. Veronica Gonzalez
Science of Nutrition
It never hurts to learn about proper nutrition. With more and more emphasis to live a healthier lifestyle, this class allows students to learn about their body’s metabolism, digestion, and what is needed to keep the human body performing at its peak.-- Mr. Alex Estela
Forensics
This course is geared toward allowing the student first hand, to learn to think just like a CSI agent. Their labs for example blood spatter, bullet striations, and many more educationally purchased kits train the student to hypothesize and determine who committed the crime. This class was created in response to the curiosity of our students always talking about CSI. We at North Bergen wanted to show them exactly what it truly means to be in the field of forensics.-- Mr. Ed Zawistowski

Independent Scientific Research Class
The Independent Scientific Research Honors course is designed for 12th grade students who intend to pursue science majors for their college careers. The students are challenged to complete original and independent scientific research that is characteristic of graduate college-level courses. Students first conduct a literature review of their interest. Then, they develop a research proposal, generate a statement of the problem, goals, research questions and hypotheses, collaborate with content-area experts, create prototypes of their research solution, design surveys and interview questions, collect and analyze data, and finally present their original research at the Jersey City Medical Center/RWJBarnabas Health STEM Showcase. Students work toward the completion of an extensive scholarly research paper and oral defense. This course places great emphasis on rigorous academic reading, writing, designing, and presenting. All projects are approved by the North Bergen Board of Education's Institutional Review Board (IRB). - Dr. Krista Welz
