At WCS, our science curriculum allows students to experience science from a Biblical worldview. An emphasis on inquiry-based learning leads students to gain proficiency in research, work collaboratively, think critically, and solve problems using scientific tools. Our Purposeful Design curriculum utilizes the Scientific Method, which develops process and organizational skills, fosters critical thinking, and helps students apply knowledge to new situations.

With a renewed emphasis on hands-on instruction, our science curriculum stimulates a passion for learning. We aim to develop in each student the ability to learn, think creatively, make decisions, and solve problems, that they may succeed in meaninful and productive jobs as adults. Using a variety of equipment, including digital balances, hydrometers, prisms, graduated cylinders, geologic mineral and test kits, students develop these important skills through investigation and use of scientific technology and techniques.

Studies show that students who are taught science in inquiry-centered elementary school classrooms are more successful in middle and high school classes than were students taught in more traditional ways, such as lecture and reading a textbook (The Foundations of Science Education, ODE). Wooster Christian School continues to move in the direction of inquiry-based science.

Our systematic, age appropriate science program covers life, physical, and earth and space sciences and includes education in the areas of health and the human body. Using a Biblical worldview, our creation science unifies science and faith and identifies God as the designer and creator of life.
