Description
The Secondary School Science program consists of Earth and Space Sciences, Biology, Chemistry and Physics in grades 7-12. Of these, the specific grade levels to be taught will be determined after considering applications for employment.
The Ashton School Science curriculum is informed by the U.S. Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS), integrates Biblical themes/Throughlines, complies with Dominican curricular requirements, and allows students to engage in more experiential and experimental learning.
We believe students need to have an understanding that there are theories and understandings in science that are accepted and considered required knowledge for college and further advanced work.
They must come to understand any possible tension between faith and science and be able to dialogue about these as appropriate.
We look forward to meeting teachers who are passionate about inspiring the minds and transforming the hearts of students they are blessed to serve.
