Science

Our science curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity, foster critical thinking, and deepen students' understanding of the natural world. Through a dynamic, hands-on, and inquiry-based approach, students actively engage in real-world investigations and experiments. This approach not only strengthens their grasp of scientific concepts but also helps them make meaningful connections between what they learn and their everyday lives.
