Science

Our science program enables students to become scientifically literate and to experience the richness and excitement of knowing about and understanding the natural world. Students practice the processes that scientists use – observation, measurement, investigation, experimentation, and communication – and experience the sometimes unpredictable dynamics of scientific study. We are  fortunate to have our own garden and literally get our hands dirty learning about soil, plants, sustainable agriculture, and nutrition. We are close to the coast, woods, fields, and urban areas for other hands-on investigations in life science, earth science, and physical science. Health lessons occur in both science and physical education, and in the many teachable moments that occur throughout the day.
