Science

Welcome to the Sandpoint High School Science Department home page. Students at SHS are required to complete six credits of Science class/laboratory work. One credit is given for each semester completed with a passing grade of a D or better.

We are fortunate to offer many hands on and engaging science classes with a great variation to choose from. All freshmen are required to take Physical Science. This is offered as both a regular and an honors class. Sophomores are required to take Biology. This course is also offered as a regular and honors class.

After students have completed their 4 required credits of physical science and biology, they have many options available for science electives to best meet their personal goals and needs. Please visit our course map/flowchart (or view the list below) to see the other science courses that are available.

Students at SHS have many options to make their schedule meet their interests, academic plans, and college preparations. We take great pride in offering engaging hands on lab classes. We believe that science is best taught and learned by experiences and action.
