Science
Approach
The Science Department is dedicated to fostering scientifically informed learners who are passionate about discovery, prepared to thrive in a rapidly changing world, and who embrace science as a vehicle for positive global change.
Students delve deeply into biology, chemistry, physics, and general science through a dynamic, hands-on approach that sparks curiosity, promotes active engagement, and emphasizes evidence-based thinking and exploration.
Laboratory investigations and coursework give students a practical framework to employ scientific methods and become critical thinkers who not only understand the processes within and around them, but who uncover viable solutions to real-world problems.
Application: Marine Science Field Trip To Cape Cod
Upper School students embarked on an exciting two-day field trip to Cape Cod, bringing their Marine Science course to life. They explored four distinct field sites and conducted comprehensive data collection through beach profiling and sampling. The highlight was a boat excursion from Woods Hole, where students toured a vibrant marine science community.
This immersive, hands-on experience deepened their understanding of oceanic systems, enhanced their collaborative skills, and solidified their role as stewards of the oceans, connecting classroom knowledge with real-world application.
