The 7th grade study of Life Science encompasses Living Things in teh Biosphere, The Cell System, Human Body Systems, Reproduction (cellular, plant, animal), Genes and Heredity, Ecosystems, and Natural Selection over time.

8th grade students study Physical Science.  Their curriculum includes Introduction to Matter, Solids, and Gases, Energy, Thermal Energy, Atoms and the Periodic Table, Chemical Reactions, Forces & Motion, Waves, and Electricity & Magnetism.

Engineering applications that are informed by science are incorporated throughout each grade level science class.

Woven throughout all three Major Areas is the theme of God’s hand in creating, and guiding our world and universe.
