Science

The key phrase that describes science in our curriculum is “science literacy for everyone.”  We define scientific literacy as the functional understanding of scientific concepts.  Modes of inquiry and the conceptual structures of science can be used by our students to develop an awareness of a changing world that is dominated by scientific and technological advancements.  Course offerings and the curriculum therein are designed to meet or exceed the core requirements for the Massachusetts Frameworks for high school science education as published by the state Department of Education.  Science courses which are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for admission to college: Biology, Chemistry, Physics.
