Science and Technology

Science

Each student will complete four years of laboratory science beginning with Molecular Biology integrated with English and technology, followed by Analytical Chemistry, Physics, and Geoscience. Each science course is supported by extended periods of time for participation in required laboratories and in relevant technology laboratory experiences. The extensive elective program includes advanced placement courses and courses such as Human Anatomy and Physiology, Marine Biology, Human Genetics, DNA-Biotechnology, and Quantum Mechanics.

Technology

Ninth graders enroll in Technology and Engineering Concepts (TEC) integrated with biology and English. This required course provides experiences in basic electronics, robotics, engineering graphics, mechanical design, and biotechnology. During the 10th and 11th grades, students are expected to prepare for senior research through coursework in technology, science and computer science electives. Twelfth graders select one technology laboratory for research, experimentation, and independent study. Mentorship opportunities off-campus are available for qualified students.
