The Science curriculum consists of those courses and activities that allow the individual student to interact with science as a discipline and to experience empirical inquiry as a method of investigation. Emphasis is placed on the processes of science so that students will discover and interpret scientific knowledge, develop positive attitudes and interests related to science and scientists, and recognize that these behaviors will be applied in making decisions in an age influenced by science and technology. Provisions are made for using instructional strategies that reflect the nature of science and scientific inquiry, and meet the needs of women learners. An understanding of the nature of science is stimulated through the use of the laboratory as a focal point for engaging in the processes of science. Opportunities are provided for students to apply methods and knowledge of science to formulate possible solutions for the problems of society.

The science department promotes an atmosphere in which students become aware of the dynamic balance within the biosphere and learn to value themselves and the created world as a gift of God and therefore accept responsibility for stewardship of the earth.
