Upper School Science Overview

The Roland Park Country School science department seeks to empower our students to be observant investigators and discerning evaluators of what they encounter in their daily lives. We want them to achieve a dynamic understanding of their roles in their surrounding environments and develop the skills and motivation to take responsibility for and make life choices that consider their relationships to natural systems, human communities, and future generations. Throughout their years in the Upper School, students study biology, physics, and chemistry. In addition, they have the opportunity to take electives on a variety of subjects, including advanced placement (AP) classes.
