Courses
The science program is designed to expose students to a range of science that will enable them to be responsible, informed citizens, and that will allow them to pursue further study in those areas of science that interest them. The introductory courses in each area provide a solid foundation for interdisciplinary or discipline-based advanced work. Our electives provide opportunities for students to place their scientific knowledge in a broader context, and to explore topics that are rarely encountered in a secondary school science curriculum.  In fulfilling the requirement of two yearlong courses and the guideline of three additional terms, students work individually and in groups to become active, confident questioners, problem-solvers, and experimenters.
