Science Department

"Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional." 

-Brian Greene, Professor of Physics and Mathematics

In Science @ BCSS, our purpose is to engage our student athletes in scientific knowledge and inquiry through facilitation, discovery, and application. Our goals include the development of critical thinking skills and scientific literacy skills, and fostering a positive and stimulating environment where all students are encouraged to strive for excellence. 

 

The Science Program

The overall aim of the secondary science program is to ensure scientific literacy for every secondary school graduate. To better achieve this aim, all courses in the program are designed to focus on science not only as an intellectual pursuit but also as an activity-based enterprise within a social context. 

• We offer a diversity of courses to support student interests and goals.

• We deliver the curriculum in unique ways to inspire love of learning and love of sport.

• We provide extra-curricular opportunities for students to deepen their understanding and appreciation of science.
