Science Department

Our science program is innovative utilizing cutting-edge technology and our science courses in general are geared toward promoting independent thinking and logical analysis. It is our hope that our students become critical thinkers so that they can rely on their prior knowledge and reasoning ability to make well-informed decisions throughout their lives and make meaningful contributions to their communities.

Aside from the two required courses, CP or honors biology and chemistry, the Science Department offers many electives to fulfill the third year of science required for graduation. Full-year electives include CP or honors anatomy and physiology, physics, AP/ECE biology, AP chemistry, AP physics, and honors biotechnology. Single-semester courses are human gene discovery lab, microbiology, genetics, chemical analysis, engineering design, and astronomy (in 2022-23). The unique aspect of Human Gene Discovery – an introductory course in biotechnology – is that it helps students get first-hand experience in common and important lab techniques which are not typically part of a high school curriculum.
