Integral to our study of science is developing and refining an understanding and application of the scientific method. The processes of observation, questioning, testing, and analyzing data are continually practiced in the activities with which the students are involved.

Incorporated throughout the curriculum are critical life skills such as effective communication, problem-solving, organization, record-keeping and note-taking, teamwork, and time and resource management. Tools used to present these concepts and skills include teacher-led instruction, field trip experiences, text from a variety of sources, and student-based activities and projects.

Each grade level focuses on one main branch of science:
Sixth Grade: Earth Science (e.g. meteorology, astronomy, geology)
Seventh Grade: Life Science (e.g. biology, ecology)
Eighth Grade: Physical Science (e.g. motion and forces, chemistry, sound, light)

As a Catholic community, it is also important to educate students about their role as stewards of the Earth. Each grade level integrates stewardship and environmental concepts throughout the curriculum in order to give the students a deeper understanding of the fragileness of our planet and what actions they can take to preserve the resources we have been given.
