The objective of the Science program is to instruct students to explore the world through scientific inquiry. Students in Elementary (K-2) and Intermediate (3-5) grades explore Physical, Earth, and Life Sciences. Students in Middle School (6-8) concentrate their area of study to Earth Science (6), Life Sciences (7), and Physical Science (8).

The student will:

1. cultivate in our students a love, curiosity, respect, and stewardship of God’s infinite creation.

3. develop scientific inquiry skills to be used both in individual and cooperative learning environments.

4. maximize hands-on opportunities for students to explore, discover, and

5. experience the universe.

7. explore, discover, and experience the universe.

10. incorporate mathematical tools into the organization and interpretation of the data.

11. integrate technology to prepare students to be able to effectively succeed in today’s society.
