Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are inquiry-based, with hands-on learning components and scientific thinking practices. These standards place a greater emphasis on helping students understand the content of science, as well as the processes and practices used to apply new scientific knowledge.
Middle school students are scheduled into one period of science each year.
Elementary students receive science instruction by our dedicated STEAM teachers. Please see more information about the STEAM/RTI model below.
