Fall 2015 Events

Course Descriptions

Scientific Inquiry
This course will explore scientific topics through the use of traditional classroom lectures and hands-on activities, interactive sessions in SJU science labs, internet resources, field trips, and workshop presentations from professionals and scholars in the fields of STEM-L. Students will also explore career opportunities in STEM-L fields.

Mathematical Inquiry
This course will demonstrate the practical uses of mathematics, particularly as they relate to science and technology. It will also attempt to de-mystify mathematical problems by teaching students how to read and speak the language of mathematics. In conjunction with these aims, emphasis will be placed upon review for standardized tests, such as the PSAT and SAT examinations. Scholastic Math has been ordered for the classes. This is read in class and the students are encouraged to complete the activities at home.

Parent Advisory Board
Interested parents of students meet with administrators to plan workshops on Financial Aid and Careers.
