We live in a world that is dominated by the influence of science and technology. The ability to make informed decisions as voters and consumers requires an understanding and appreciation of the nature of science. Since science is both a body of knowledge and a process of investigation, these two components are an integral part of each science course offering.

Students should expect a rigorous course of study that encourages higher-level reasoning, incorporates the use of technology and involves laboratory inquiry. Skills in reading, writing and mathematics are an important component of science instruction. Science courses are carefully aligned with the National Standards of Science Education and the Connecticut Science Frameworks and develop appropriate skills for the CAPT and SAT. All students are encouraged to take four years of science including a balance of the life sciences and the physical sciences.
