Scientific and Technological Literacy
The Science Department focuses on scientific and technological literacy. Following scientific standards and benchmarks, students utilize their skills to think critically and logically. Students will apply appropriate laboratory techniques, mathematics, problem solving, and process skills through the required and elective science courses.
The Science faculty works with the arts and other academic faculties as interdisciplinary teams to engage the students in their art forms, and ensure that the students maximize their potential. Students will develop their reasoning skills, which will enable them to make real world connections. We will support students as they strive for excellence.
