Requirements
Students are required to pass three years of science for graduation. They are also required to take an MCAS examination in a science discipline. Typically students take the Physics MCAS exam at the end of their freshman year, but transfer students may wish to take the Biology MCAS instead. Additionally, full year elective courses are offered in Environmental Science, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Forensic Science, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP Physics 1. Entrance into science courses is subject to criteria recommended by the Science Department.
