• Course Offerings, Path and Sequencing

    Our Science Department's courses and have been designed to target students' diverse needs and interests in the study of science. Students typically follow one of three science course sequences (although change of sequence is allowed), each of which is designed to appropriately challenge students to achieve the NJ Core Curriculum Standards for Science. Typical course selections for each sequence include:

    GRADE 9
    GRADE 10
    GRADE 11
    GRADE 12

    As noted above, the science department also actively participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) Program. Currently the science department offers the following AP courses:

    • Advanced Placement Biology
    • Advanced Placement Chemistry
    • Advanced Placement Physics "C" (Calculus-based)

    The science department also offers an Anatomy and Physiology course, which enables students to qualify for college credit by means of a dual credit agreement existing between Washington Township Schools and Gloucester County College.
