Enhanced Science Education
Science education helps students gain the keys to understanding the world we live in by applying the scientific method and developing analytical skills.
Our Vision of Science
Developing observation and precision skills, fostering critical thinking and rigor, encouraging initiative and teamwork, and nurturing a love for research through investigative methods are all elements that will allow students to thrive in the 21st-century world. Science learning follows a holistic approach, emphasized through interdisciplinary projects, which naturally connect formal sciences (mathematics, computer science, and computational thinking), physical sciences (physics and chemistry), and life and earth sciences (SVT). The study of computer science and computational thinking plays a significant role, starting in elementary school in second grade (algorithms, problem-solving, coding) and gradually intensifying throughout their education up to high school graduation.
Science in Elementary School
In elementary school, we aim to allow children, through trial and error and experimentation, to develop logical thinking and acquire knowledge and skills through subjects like life and earth sciences (SVT), physics-chemistry, and engineering sciences. Observation, hands-on experimentation, and reporting findings—whether in writing or through oral presentations—also help students solidify fundamental literacy and numeracy skills. Fourth and fifth-grade students (CM1 and CM2) occasionally use secondary school labs with middle school teachers and partner researchers (in scientific research workshops they will continue in middle school).
Science in Middle School
In middle school, science education expands significantly. With more class time devoted to science than in the standard curriculum, this teaching is carried out through subject-specific courses (mathematics, digital science, life and earth sciences, physics-chemistry) as well as project-based work (with engineering sciences depending on the project). In the latter case, science is often combined with other subjects such as English or history. Mathematics in middle school is paired with enhanced digital science instruction for more in-depth learning.
