The program for the school year 2000-2001 is Life science. All of the students from K-8 participate in the science program. It is heavily weighted to experiential methods with hands-on labs or activities at nearly every session. The lower school classes are in the lab at least once per week. The intermediate classes receive instruction three times per week and the upper school has science five days per week.
All teachers also integrate science into their everyday classroom experience.
Volunteer students from CU Boulder come to several classes each week to lead science activities, often related to Colorado environmental education. All of the grades also participate in expeditionary experiences in the field. The upper school does three expeditions per year for up to a week per expedition. Students can participate in a science fair once a year and the winners go on to The Boulder Valley Science Fair. The upper school students also participate in one or more symposiums per year.
