Science

The Science Department offers courses that have a threefold purpose: to develop literacy and understanding of the basic concepts and principles of science which shape our daily lives; to extend capacity for rational thought and action by focusing on facts, concepts, and principles as the important basis for decision-making; and to promote concern and involvement in some of the issues that are vital to our wellbeing as individuals and as members of the common community.

Students must earn three credits in science for graduation including one in the biological sciences area and another in the physical sciences area. General Science and Biology are strongly recommended as they are prerequisites to most of the courses in the Grade 11 and 12 science electives programs.
