Science Department

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the science Department . The Department is an exciting place to be. This department has 3 subjects on offer: Biology, Physics and Chemistry. As per our academic curriculum, chemistry is offered as the compulsory central science while students have the option to take either Biology or Physics.

Resources:
We boast of three well equipped spacious science laboratories. Each of the three subjects has a laboratory dedicated to it.

Staff
The department prides itself of having a rich blend of professionals: our diversity in terms of gender, age, experience and locus provides learners with multifaceted avenues of learning. This diversity not only enriches our competence and expertise as teachers, but also ensures that we cater for the learning profiles of each and every learner.

Curriculum Implementation
In the science department we acknowledge that our learners have multiple intelligences – a resource that we have strategically tapped into. We reckon that there is no “one-size-fits-all” curriculum. We try our best to get to the level our learners and design instructional methodologies that will ensure “no child is left behind”. We provide various avenues through which students can learn the same thing. Our hold on differentiated instruction as a tool for learning is almost unparalleled. Our teachers are known to hold each student by the hand while providing ample environment for incubation – for the larva to metamorphose into an adult.
The values and traditions we instill in our students seem never to have failed them – what with so many of them being leaders in industries and scientific world. We have tailor-made several programs that ensure continuous learning at individualized pace. In our own unique ways we inculcate a sense of academic pride and confidence in our learners

Assessment Policy
Our formative evaluation policies ensure that our students face their summative assessment at the end of four years when they are well fermented. We train the students right from form one on how to revise. The monitoring thereafter ensures that revision is a continuous process. The assessment methodologies available ensure that learners have various ways through which they can assess their learning. From written assessment, open book exams, practicals, term papers to project reports – just name it. They have it all here.
