Science
Our growing science program is designed to teach students to ask questions about the physical world and to design the experiments they need to answer those questions.
The Art of Problem Solving in Science
Empower Student Discovery
Instead of memorizing rules and facts, students build their conceptual understanding of the world around them through hypotheses and experiments.
Support Classroom Collaboration
Students engage in discussions and hands-on lab activities with their peers as they design experiments and interpret data together.
Foster Problem Solving Skills
Students tackle challenging problems and synthesize known concepts to expand their adaptability and conceptual understanding.
Build Scientific Curiosity
Students pursue the “why” behind concepts they are taught and learn scientific frameworks for investigating their questions.
Course Format
Active Learning
Students discover new concepts and conduct experiments to test their ideas under the guidance of expert instructors. Students connect and collaborate with their dedicated peer group.
Weekly Homework
Students are assigned online weekly homework through their student portal. They receive instant feedback and access to detailed solutions for review after completion. Each assignment includes problems with a wide range of difficulty; students should expect to spend 1-1.5 hours on homework per week.
Exams
Students will take in-class exams to help measure their learning. Our exams are challenging! Struggling on problems – even those which they never solve – helps students develop strong problem-solving and critical reasoning skills. Along the way, students also learn that difficult problems don't have to be scary.
Thorough Reporting
Students and parents can view detailed performance reports on their course homepage at any time throughout each course.
Science Summer Camps
Our two-week camps are designed to keep students engaged and sharpen their skills for the upcoming school year.
