The West Chester Friends science and technology programs provide STEM-based, hands-on exploration that prepares students for ever-evolving biological, environmental and technological studies. Students use the campus pond and outdoor classroom to observe and record their natural surroundings and develop a sense of environmental responsibility.

The annual Science Expo showcases an amazing array of work, from third through fifth graders.  Learning on campus and in our recently renovated Science Lab is supported and enriched through a variety of field trips and campus visitors,, including to the Mather Planetarium on the campus of West Chester University,  vfisits from the Traveling Seeds Program at Llongwood GArdens, and a fourth grde adventure to to Echo Hill Outdoor School along the Chesepeake Bay.  Students use Chromebooks, smart boards and I-pads for technology work that is age-appropriate and in support of science and other classroom work. Guidelines for etiquette and safety are a focus in the tech lab.

Research, experiments, and gardening are among the integrated components of the science curriculum and foster a concrete understanding of scientific concepts and principles that serve students both in later schooling and their daily lives.
