Science
Welcome to Rushmore American School, where we are committed to delivering a high-quality education that aligns with the rigorous Massachusetts state standards, particularly in the field of science.
Rigorous Challenge
High school marks the pinnacle of our science curriculum, where students have the opportunity to delve deeper into specific scientific fields. Advanced Placement (AP) courses offer rigorous challenges for those aspiring to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers. Our goal is not only to prepare students for college-level science but also to instill a passion for lifelong learning in the sciences.
Engaging Science Curriculum
At Rushmore American School, we recognize that science is not just a subject; it's a dynamic force that shapes our understanding of the world. By providing a comprehensive and engaging science curriculum across all grade levels, we empower students to become critical thinkers, innovative problem solvers, and informed global citizens. Join us on a journey where science education goes beyond textbooks, igniting a curiosity that lasts a lifetime.
Science in Everyday Life
We recognise that science is not confined to the classroom; it permeates every aspect of our lives. From the technology we use daily to the advancements in medicine and environmental sustainability, science is the driving force behind progress. Our curriculum reflects this reality, aiming to prepare students not only for academic success but also to be informed, responsible, and innovative citizens.
Passion for Science
In a society increasingly shaped by scientific and technological advancements, a solid foundation in science is more critical than ever. We believe that by instilling a passion for science in our students, we are preparing them to contribute meaningfully to the advancements and challenges of the future.
Scientific Skills
Our science curriculum has been developed with a focus on cultivating essential skills and knowledge across various scientific disciplines. Students are encouraged to explore the wonders of the natural world, engage in hands-on experiments, and develop critical thinking skills that are crucial for success in the 21st century.
Sparking Curiosity
At Rushmore American School, we believe that a strong foundation in science is vital for a well-rounded education. Science is not just a subject; it is a dynamic and ever-evolving field that plays a pivotal role in shaping our understanding of the world. Our curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, encourage inquiry, and foster a love for discovery.
Deep Understanding
Our educators at Rushmore American School are dedicated to delivering a curriculum that not only meets these standards but goes beyond, providing students with a comprehensive and immersive learning experience. Our tailored science curriculum evolves with the academic progression of students, fostering a deep understanding and appreciation for scientific principles at every stage.
Young Scientists
In the early years of Pre-K and Kindergarten, our budding scientists engage in hands-on, exploratory activities that lay the groundwork for curiosity and inquiry. Through age-appropriate experiments and interactive learning, students develop a foundational understanding of basic scientific concepts, setting the stage for their scientific journey.
Exciting Experiments
As students transition into the elementary school years, our science curriculum becomes more structured, aligning with the Massachusetts state standards for each grade level. From life sciences to physical sciences, students explore diverse topics that captivate their imagination. They delve into the wonders of ecosystems, learn about the properties of matter, and embark on exciting experiments that make science come alive in the classroom.
In-depth Exploration
In the middle school years, our science curriculum expands to include more specialized topics, providing students with a broader exposure to scientific disciplines. Earth science, biology, chemistry, and physics become focal points, and students begin to connect scientific theories with real-world applications. Our educators facilitate in-depth exploration, encouraging students to ask questions, formulate hypotheses, and conduct experiments independently.
