Science

The science department provides students with opportunities to develop problem-solving skills and build content knowledge that will benefit them as they enter the worlds of college and work.

  • Students are encouraged to take four years of science. According to the College Board, most college admissions committees prefer students to have taken at least three years of high school science.
     
  • Hinsdale South science courses emphasize math applications, laboratory investigations, STEM explorations, problem-solving skills and technology.
     
  • Advanced Placement (AP) courses provide the opportunity for students to earn college credit upon successful completion of the AP exam, depending on the policy of the college you will attend. AP courses cover college-level material at a college-level pace with college-level expectations. Students who plan to attend college are encouraged to take the appropriate prerequisites to develop skills and work habits that will prepare them for AP classes.
     
  • Hinsdale South offers electives that allow students to explore the sciences and expand their knowledge base. Electives can be taken concurrently with core courses.
