Process
Emulate the methods used to conduct science in the global community, including close collaboration, individual research, and active peer review
The Science Department at Seattle Academy offers a curriculum grounded in scientific reasoning across multiple disciplines. We strive to cultivate graduates who are not only knowledgeable about core scientific principles but also equipped to investigate and solve problems using creativity, logic, technology, and collaboration, all while upholding a commitment to ethics and integrity. At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that science is a distinct way of understanding the world, one that incorporates methods including: hypothesis testing, observational studies, qualitative research, modeling, simulations, and comparative analysis. Students engage in this process of inquiry by combining logical reasoning with imaginative thinking, applying a canon of facts and observations to draw conclusions while exploring innovative experiments and diverse perspectives.
