Video: An introduction to the Science Center
Our discovery-based science program challenges students to think outside the box. We conduct lab experiments that allow students to devise a hypothesis, record observations, analyze data and draw conclusions from their work.”Meredith Salmon, science teacher
Our curriculum is grounded in chemistry and biology and then takes off with offerings like robotics and psychology. The Signature Experience in Advanced Research Science (EXP) allows you to pursue a particular science area independently.
