Science

The science curriculum is developed in accordance with the Next Generation Science Standards. The approach to science encompasses the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) approach to teaching and learning science. The scientific process is utilized in all grades teaching students how to create a lab report. The students learn through hands-on activities as well as classroom discussions, utilizing materials both in print and virtually.
