The high school science program is experientially based with a minimum of 50 percent of class time spent in laboratory or research-related activities. The integration of technology throughout high school science courses allows students to

• Collect, organize, analyze, and interpret real-time data.
• Conduct research.
• Design science experiments.
• Explore science concepts through simulation and application software.

Our Programs of Study are based on the  Virginia Standards of Learning  and the  National Science Education Standards .
