Department Overview
DESCRIPTION OF EXCELLENCE
God’s creative acts provide the foundation for scientific discovery. Students explore the wonder of the laws and principles that govern the universe while developing marketplace skills.
DISTINCTIVE EXPERIENCE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Students demonstrate a grasp of scientific concepts, theories, and calculations through extensive small-group experiments and real-life simulations using state-of-the-art, and industry- standard lab equipment. Students are encouraged to apply their classroom knowledge and intellect to make scientific application through competitions such as the Synopsys Science and Technology Championship and conduct research using equipment such as the Moxi Flow® cytometer and the SpectraMax® M2 Microplate Reader. Students are also equipped and encouraged to take full advantage of the many programs offered through our AMSE after-school programs.
