No. Check the catalog. A comunity college would probably offer more math and science (at least those I'm familiar with do.)

I was referring to "PHCC", not the course offerings.
However, you are absolutely correct. The course offerings in Science and Math are virtually nonexistent.
In this day and age, those involved in government policy, at a minimum, need a solid foundation in probability, statistics, calculus, differential equations and physics. In a society that argues the merit of every case and political position based on scientific "studies" and research, it is critical that politicians of the future have the basics required to distinguish between BS and fact.
I am surprised that the founders of Patrick Henry College have made such a glaring omission.

This is a new and small school, operating exclusively off private funds. Setting up a science or math department is expensive because it takes more lab equipment, computers, software...
My bet is that PHC is focusing on those subjects where so many other schools are producing a particularly objectionable product. Besides, my home educated kids will be half done with two technical degrees by the time they leave for college. That's the standard we should be setting for high school.
