The Priory Science curriculum exposes students to a wide variety of topics and science skills that spiral throughout the curriculum to develop a scientifically literate citizen. In middle school, topics in Physical, Earth, and Life sciences and science skills are introduced and developed through student-centered investigations. This creates foundational knowledge in scientific processes and builds skills in basic scientific literacy. Using basic Algebra-level math skills, students in the upper school begin their scientific exploration with physics as a basis for understanding the physical processes that shape the Universe. The next step is biology, in which students study micro and macro-scale concepts in living systems while continuing to develop their scientific reading and critical thinking skills. The third year of science is dedicated to modern chemistry, with the study of molecular interactions. The focus includes problem-solving, particle understanding, scientific writing, and critical thinking. Our various science electives allow students to dive deeper into subjects about which they are curious or passionate.
