About Science

Every year, our Science courses, approximately 55 classes of Science, are taught by 11 or 12 teachers. Along with our junior classes at both the academic and applied levels, we offer Senior courses in General Science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Space Science and Physics. The Biology, Chemistry and Physics classes are all offered at both University and the Advanced Placement level, while Biology and Chemistry are also offered at the College level.

The Science department has been a leader in Assesment and Evaluation, offering students a wide range of Learning Tasks covering all the Learning Categories, using a model developed in house which has benefitted students, parents and teachers. We aim to ensure that all Science classes are experiential in nature, through the use of traditional and computer based lab activities, modelling, student projects, presentations, demonstrations etc.

We want our students to not only understand the content of Science, but the importance of Science in Technology, Society and the Environment, and to their future.
