DA’s Science Department boasts nearly 80 years of combined teaching experience among its four full-time and one part-time instructors (over 50 of those years at DA!). The curriculum is remarkably diverse for the student body size, and it encompasses all levels of the three major scientific fields – Biology, Chemistry, and Physics – at the Standard and Honors level. Advanced Placement courses include AP Environmental Science, AP Biology, AP Physics, and AP Chemistry. Physical Science is offered to incoming freshmen and Earth Space Science is also offered at the senior level. The curriculum’s focus is on practical and real-world applications, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, laboratory experience, and projects that foster the artistic as well as the academic growth of students.
