Science & Engineering

Middle School students take one year-long, grade-level science course each year. Additionally, students take two semester-long exploratory courses - Engineering and Design and Medical Detectives - in 7th grade. Students can choose to take Engineering eXtreme and/or Computer Science as semester-long elective courses.

Is Advanced Science Right For You?

Students in Advanced Science classes move at a faster pace in order to increase the breadth and depth of content learned, as well as provide additional opportunities for student choice and open inquiry. Added expectations include integration of technical writing skills, rigorous student-directed learning, and participation in investigative or research projects. Students should expect to spend additional time outside of class completing assignments. Please see the Advanced Science courses of study for additional information.
