At Discovery Academy of Science, we believe that science education should ignite curiosity, encourage exploration, and develop critical thinking skills that students will carry with them for life. Our science instruction is designed to go beyond memorization. Students learn how to ask questions, investigate answers, and apply their knowledge to the world around them.

Inspire Science is our core curriculum. It blends hands-on experiments with inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to actively participate in the scientific process. 

Key features of our science program include:

• Hands-On Investigations: Students regularly engage in labs and experiments that allow them to test hypotheses, collect data, and draw conclusions.

• STEM Integration: Science is closely linked with technology, engineering, and math through interdisciplinary projects and challenges.

• Phenomena-Based Learning: Units begin with real-world phenomena that spark student inquiry and guide lessons toward deeper understanding.

• Scientific Literacy: Students build vocabulary and comprehension skills that help them read, write, and speak about science confidently.

For students in upper elementary and middle school, opportunities to go further include participation in science competitions, science fair projects, and our award-winning STEM teams such as FLL, SeaPerch and Science Olympiad.

By making science exciting, relevant, and hands-on, we empower students to see themselves as future scientists, engineers, innovators, and problem-solvers.
