UPPER SCHOOL MATH & SCIENCE COURSES

PLEASE NOTE:

• The 4 week summer math and science credit courses are extremely rigorous, moving through an entire year’s work in one month. For that reason, students enrolling in these classes need to seek the approval of the Math or Science Department Chairs, as applicable. Please register first, then wait for confirmation from the Summer Academy Office regarding whether approval has been granted.

• Successful completion of these courses will allow students to advance in the Upper School math or science tracks, but the credits from summer math and science courses do not count toward the graduation credit requirements for Upper School math or science. Students must still complete three full credits of math and science during the normal academic school year, regardless of whether a summer math or science course has been taken.

The Introduction to Scientific Research course is designed for high school students who are interested in understanding how scientists investigate real-world problems. Students will research, plan, design and test a series of hands-on science projects in all three major scientific disciplines: Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The main goal of this course is to introduce students who have never taken a research course to the research process and provide them with an opportunity to apply a logical approach to scientific questions. This course is ideal for 9th or 10th grade students who are looking for a solid foundation in research methods and data evaluation before they take another research course later in high school or in college.

Successful completion of this course grants 0.5 credit as a Science Elective.
