SCIENCE
Our K-12 science curriculum is aligned with the Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Science and Environment and Ecology, with an eye towards the Next Generation Science Standards. Our instruction is framed around big ideas, essential questions, and active learning. Our K-5 science curriculum extends the topics covered in the English Language Arts curriculum, allowing for students to utilize the time designated for science as an opportunity to do science. Students in grades 6-8 continue their standards based learning with an inquiry based approach to science while using Science and Technology Concepts modules from the National Science Resource Center division of the Smithsonian Institute. Students in grades 9-12 have a variety of science courses to select based upon the course sequence as well as electives.
