Girls with a passion for a particular area of science can conduct their own independent science research project. Through this course for credit, girls conduct their own research project here at school in the first year. In subsequent years, girls are placed in labs at local colleges and universities to experience “higher level” lab work. For a comprehensive list of research projects conducted in recent years, click on the link below.
