Many programs outside the classroom enrich students’ knowledge of and experience in the science, technology, math and engineering areas. Summer internships immerse students in actual workplaces, including scientific settings. Classes include real-world projects such as investigating axolotl genetics through breeding crosses in Biology and modelling flood risk in Environmental Science .
Students participate in science fairs at Sci High and the Greater New Orleans Science & Engineering fair. Sci High students take part in educational extracurricular activities in STEM (science, technology, engineering, & math) fields that include mentoring opportunities, job shadowing, and field trips. Special events throughout the school year, including a Lunch Series of mentoring meetings with members of American Medical Women's Association from Tulane University, and a variety of field trips to places like the Simulated Environment Teaching Hospital and NASA, expose Sci High students to diverse careers and majors, and help them develop their networking skills.
At Sci High we help students to gain new knowledge and master core scientific concepts. We achieve this goal by fostering a sense of curiosity, exploring science in the real-world, and practicing problem-solving skills. Our courses are challenging, stimulating, collaborative, and fun. Students should be able to apply the principles of scientific research to their own areas of interest, and communicate their findings with others.
Sci High ensure that students have a strong and rigorous foundation in mathematics that is both conceptual and real-world. Our students work with confidence to approach problem-solving in post-secondary or career opportunities. We aim to provide an exceptional educational experience in mathematics by providing scholars a learning culture that is engaging, rigorous and supportive that caters to each student's success.
Career and Technical Education at our school empowers students through hands-on learning, specific skill-building, and a focus on careers. Through CTE, we aim to prepare Sci High students for the diverse futures that await them after graduation by supporting students in achieving Industry-Based Certifications (IBCs) that give them job-readiness straight out of high school.
