Discipline: Science
Science courses at George School encourage students to understand the world in which they live. The academic schedule provides ample time for hands-on learning through experimentation. A wide survey of courses provides a broad knowledge of science.
For a student who comes to George School in 9th grade, this survey begins with a chemistry course. The paths that follow vary a great deal from student to student, but typically include at least one biology course and one physics course. Many students choose to delve more deeply into one or more of these three fundamental scientific disciplines by taking a second course, culminating in an IB or AP exam. Students also frequently opt to include courses in areas such as computer programming, robotics, and environmental science.
