DEPARTMENT PHILOSOPHY
We engage students in active and evidence-based scientific inquiry as they develop strong foundations in biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, physics, and more. Courses model scientific reasoning to show students how accurate information and keen analysis can lead to original thinking. Students explore the phenomena of the physical world and the place of humans within it as they sharpen their analytical, collaborative, and communicative skills in a richly interactive environment.
Science students are typically assigned 2.5 - 4 hours of homework per week. For AP courses and research options, please see individual course descriptions.
