Domain & Science, Lower School

In Lower and Upper School, Domain encompasses science and social studies concepts and skills that spiral throughout each division and expand into Encore classes. Through real-world applications, hands-on learning experiences and engaging and dynamic cross-curricular projects, students are able to delve deeper into each topic and relate these concepts to their life. These units of study shape our students' subject knowledge and content vocabulary in the areas of geography, American history, world history and the three main branches of science.
