The science curriculum is chiefly concerned with the experimental and theoretical processes by which scientists explore the natural world, with the application of these results to contemporary problems. The laboratory orientation of our classes encourages students to relate theory to experience.
Teachers work to foster creative and independent research.
Electives include a strong Advanced Placement program for interested and gifted students as well as offerings for those interested in science courses at a less advanced level. In laboratory courses, one of the class meetings each week is a double laboratory period. I and II may be substituted for Biology and Chemistry. Laboratory course The course provides a survey of the major areas of inquiry in biology including molecular biology, genetics, physiology, behavior, evolution, and ecology. The flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein is emphasized in investigating the structure and function of cells and the way in which genetic traits are inherited.
