The Science Department prepares students to be life-long learners who are able to critically interpret data, distinguish the difference between observations and interpretations, and make informed inferences. Students complete their science curriculum with a greater ability to recognize the interrelationships between their actions and the welfare of the greater community.

The department provides a broad range of courses of differing levels of intellectual challenge, and places a strong emphasis not only on the attainment of knowledge, but also on the skills necessary to acquire and use their knowledge in a thoughtful and compassionate way. The department prepares students with the necessary reading, writing, mathematical, and critical thinking skills to be able to communicate their knowledge toward effectively in an increasingly complex technological world.
