Science
ur
science program engages students in the study of natural processes:
what’s happening, and why. We work independently, we work in groups,
and we complete labs, experimental design, and long-term research. We observe
and interpret results of scientific situations. We learn to approach problems
rationally and methodically. What does modern-day animal behavior reveal
about evolution? What happens in your brain when a memory is made? Whether
studying astrobiology, ethics in science, or the physical world, our students
have numerous opportunities to explore,
question, and understand.
The school’s state-of-the-art facilities provide the ideal setting to encourage the logic, structure, and creativity that are part of scientific learning and thought. The Hunter Science Center’s six laboratories are innovative and flexible in design, allowing for individual lab work, computer simulations, small group studies, lectures, and demonstrations in one space.

Although only 4 percent of all high schools are girls’ schools, they produce 60 percent of the female chemistry majors in college.
The Hunter Science Center is a modern teaching facility built around the way girls learn best: through hands-on, interactive projects that encourage collaboration. The floor plan itself is revolutionary, built on the concept of a “fractal,” a scientific term meaning that the smallest element replicates the largest.
