The ARC Science Department
The goal of the ARC High School Science Department is to inspire and empower students through a dynamic and inclusive science education. We are committed to fostering a passion for scientific inquiry, creativity, and innovation while building strong literacy skills that enable students to communicate their ideas effectively.
Through hands-on STEAM projects, collaborative learning experiences, and a rigorous curriculum, we aim to:
- Cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
- Encourage curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
- Develop proficiency in scientific literacy, enabling students to read, write, and communicate complex concepts with clarity and confidence.
- Promote interdisciplinary learning that integrates the arts to enhance creativity and innovation.
- Prepare students for success in higher education, careers in STEAM fields, and as informed global citizens.
We strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential.
This year, our mission is to encourage students to take ownership and feel empowered in their learning. We strive to provide opportunities in our classroom for students to use their voice in positive ways and learn in ways that are accessible and meaningful to them.
