The Science Department believes students learn science best by actively engaging in the process of discovery. Rather than only memorizing facts and theories, students are encouraged to explore, question, and investigate how science works and how scientific knowledge is developed.

Most science courses are hands-on and laboratory-based, allowing students to use critical thinking and reasoning skills as they apply the scientific method. Technology is an important part of science classes, with computers and digital tools used to model concepts and enhance learning.

The science program helps students develop the skills needed to analyze information and make informed decisions about real-world problems. Courses also align with the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS): Science and Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Disciplinary Core Ideas, preparing students for future science learning and careers.
