The goals of the Science Program are:

• to produce students with personal appreciation and respect for life leading to a positive involvement with the environment.
• to encourage students to practice rational, critical thinking based on objective observations and open-mindedness, which are the essential ingredients of the scientific method of inquiry.
• to develop skills in manipulating materials and equipment for gathering, organizing and communicating scientific information based on observations and interpretations.
• to ensure that the scientifically literate person has a substantial base of facts, concepts, processes and skills which enable that individual to continue to learn and think logically.
• to have students appreciate the value of science and technology in society and to understand its limitations.
