Science (MS)

In the science courses at ESA, science is taught not only as a body of useful knowledge, but also as a method by which we find answers.  Students learn science most effectively through discovery-based lessons in which they interact with each other and with teachers to solve problems and to answer questions.  Teachers at ESA use the Socratic method in laboratory experiences, field exercises, and in class to encourage student interest and participation.  By engaging students one-on-one and in small groups, teachers can address each student's ideas and questions.  This method of teaching not only encourages each student to be actively involved in his or her education, but it also fosters academic self-confidence and maturity.

Middle School required courses: General Science, Life Science, and Earth Science
