The science curriculum builds students' skills as scientific thinkers and analytic problem-solvers, exciting them about the field and preparing them for the rigors of college-level study. Just as important as classroom instruction are weekly double lab periods, limited to no more than 16 students, which allow time for applying concepts hands-on and learning to work cooperatively in small groups. Teachers make use of the latest technology to enhance this learning experience. In fact, teachers consistently provide students with a context for the concepts and principles they are learning by bringing in examples of current trends and discoveries in the field. By offering biology, chemistry, and physics in that order the science department feels it best accomplishes its student preparation.
