Environmental Science

In each grade, students tackle a variety of service projects in Environmental Science that aim to investigate the local impacts of climate change and develop strategies for mitigation and adaptation. Students spearhead a variety of initiatives, including recycling, composting, water quality testing, and our local green museum that focus on the environmental impacts of climate change within our own community with middle school students.

Community-based service projects extend the students' academic learning into meaningful actions. Elementary school students' projects are focused within our immediate school community, supporting initiatives right  on our own campus and local park system.  Middle school students collaborate with local organizations such as the Upper Roxborough Reservoir, local park associations, Roxborough YMCA, and the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, combining service projects with applied science knowledge.
