Science
SEM bolsters confidence and develops
scientifically literate women.
SEM’s curriculum is designed to follow the students’ progression in mathematics, and each girl is expected to explain scientific phenomena in both written essays and discussions. Creative application of concepts is encouraged through project-based assignments. Confidence, respect, and leadership are fostered in the classroom environment through a progression of challenging material and scaffolded independence in learning.
“Teaching science at a school for girls feels deeply meaningful because it allows me to inspire young women in a field where they are often underrepresented at higher education and career levels. It’s empowering to create a supportive environment where girls can confidently explore, question, and excel in science. Additionally, the flexibility to tailor lessons to their interests and needs helps foster a genuine love for discovery and learning.”
