Science
Engaging students completely in science by using a combination of wonder and critical thinking is at the heart of the Science Department.
Students at all levels engage in weekly, hands-on science laboratories where they learn about the natural world.
Preschool to elementary-school students learn subjects as diverse as acid titration to the observations of honeybees. This engages the younger students' sense of wonder.
Building on that sense of inquiry - on which most learning is based - middle school students' curriculum is a much more rigorous program. Lab sessions emphasize geology, biology and physics.
Middle school projects require rigorous use of scientific methodology. Students write detailed observations, which are then analyzed and put into computer-generated graphs. This raw material is then transformed to professional-quality presentations.
