The Knox School Science Department strives to spark curiosity in its students about the wonders of the scientific world around them. Our curriculum is driven by the processes of inquiry, problem-solving and discovery, and learning is intentionally relevant. Knox students become scientifically literate and learn to be effective problem solvers. Through hands-on, engaging activities that extend beyond the walls of the classroom, they come to realize that science is more than facts – it is using a computer to program a robot to complete a series of tasks, exploring our campus waterfront as a living, learning lab during Biology class, using industry software and 3D printers to engineer and design a multitude of projects, or conducting original scientific research with opportunities to present their findings at Brookhaven National Laboratory and submit their work to the Regeneron Science Talent Search.
