Science Trajectories
Our Immersive Ninth Grade Science Curriculum
Developed by the Harvey science faculty, this unique curriculum is designed to inspire scientific inquiry and generate a passion for the sciences in our students.
With a focus on core scientific principles and unifying themes, the Science Trajectories program seeks to lay a solid foundation of high school level science.
Co-taught by five members of the science department, ninth graders progress through five units of study, exploring the various disciplines and core fundamentals that science demands.
Each unit of study is taught by a specific member of the science department and showcases the talent and passion each teacher has for their unit of study.
Students have the rare opportunity to enjoy a new and stimulating learning environment each term, embarking on a new exploratory journey led by teachers who are experts in their field of science.
At the end of ninth grade, students are then guided into the field of science that best fits their academic goals and aspirations, and an individual course of study will be determined for their path through the sciences at Harvey.
