Gould Academy’s Science Department consists of classes that equip students with important skills (measurement, metric system, experiment design and writing, and physical principles) before opening up the world of possibilities for scientific research available on campus.
Our faculty includes passionate scientists who are highly awarded individuals within their fields, and who help students succeed in the classroom and beyond.
