Salisbury School: Environmental Sciences

Salisbury School's Science department strives to instill in our students a sense of curiosity about the natural and physical world, along with a development of sound knowledge and competency in scientific skills. Students will develop critical reasoning skills to observe, interpret data, solve problems, and develop well-supported conclusions. We strive to develop communication skills in our students to ask and answer sound questions, pursue deep discussions, and convey their understanding in different ways: mathematical, verbal, and visual. We hope to convey the broad application of science to other academic disciplines and the world as a whole. In short, we try to develop independent learners who can use their scientific toolkit as a method of inquiry, problem solving, and life-long learning.  Courses explore environmental issues from three vantage points: the unspoiled natural world, man’s impact on the natural world, and possible resolutions to problems. Students investigate historical and current ethical issues in man’s use of the natural environment. Extensive field work is integrated into the course as a means of exploring the various ecosystems on the School’s acreage,.
