Environmental Science - Academy for the Arts...

The major is designed to expose the student to a variety of topics and careers covered by the label of Environmental Science by studying topics from the scientific, social, psychological, and ethical points of view. Exposure and learning will occur in the classroom and through field experiences, both on and off the school property through individual and group activities. From this broad exposure, the student will select a more specific topic to explore in depth for the senior project. By gaining experience in the classroom and in the field, students will have the opportunity to become environmentally literate in knowledge and practice. Ultimately the goal is to have the students apply knowledge gained to their lifelong activities
