Science & Technology

Each student will complete four years of laboratory science beginning with Biology (integrated with English as well as Design and Technology) followed by Chemistry, Physics, and Geosystems. Each science course has substantial laboratory experiences. Science electives assist students in preparing for their senior research projects and include advanced placement courses in biology, chemistry, physics and an array of other courses described in the TJHSST Online Course Guide.

Freshmen enroll in the Design and Technology course integrated with Biology and English (IBET). This required course is designed to help each student explore and acquire basic skills needed for later experience in research laboratory courses courses.

During the sophomore and junior years, students are expected to prepare for senior research through coursework in science, technology, and computer science electives.

All seniors are expected to complete a major science or engineering research project, either by working in one of the science and technology research laboratories, or by working in a commercial, government or university research lab or technical facility through our mentorship program.

Some exciting SciTech projects have been the International Space Station conference and the TJCubeSat.
