Program Description

The Champlain-Lennoxville Science Program is designed to give students the best possible preparation for university studies in science so they can pursue careers in fields such as research, engineering, medicine and more. By offering a range of science electives and the flexibility of three different tracks, Champlain-Lennoxville students can customize their choice of science electives based on the field of study that interests them the most. In addition, it groups students with similar interests together, allowing them to benefit from each other’s motivation and shared knowledge.

Faculty members pride themselves on their long history of being available to help students outside of the classroom. Other science program activities, such as peer tutoring workshops and an annual guest speaker series, help students achieve their goals and discover what a career in science is all about.

Profile Description

This profile offers students maximum flexibility! It is perfect for the many students who are still discovering their true interests in science. In this profile, students can choose science electives in the discipline of their choice, whether it is biology, chemistry, mathematics or physics. By choosing the general profile, students also unlock access to an elective course in biology or chemistry that is not available to other profiles.

Schoolmates studying together

Prerequisites

Students who have received a poor final grade in Math, Physics, and/or Chemistry in Level V of high school will be assigned additional support time each week for the appropriate NYA course(s) to help them succeed in these courses and have a better foundation for the rest of the science curriculum. Students who have already failed the NYA course will also be assigned this additional support time.

Objectives

At the end of the science program, students will be able to:

  • draw on specific knowledge that allows them to consolidate and enrich their basic scientific culture
  • approach complex situations from an interdisciplinary perspective
  • appreciate the relationships between science, technology and society
  • demonstrate critical judgment and intellectual rigor
  • use digital technologies in a scientific context
  • develop a spirit of collaboration and communication

The Comprehensive Assessment

For the comprehensive assessment of the science program, skills from at least two different scientific disciplines will be combined to complete a major team project. Under the supervision of an experienced teacher, students will defend a position or test a hypothesis using experimentation, simulation, or literature review. Students will communicate their findings using a combination of oral and written materials.

The comprehensive assessment is contained in the integration course, taken during the last semester of the science program. The Science Exit Profile attributes assessed by this project are:

  • Uses appropriate disciplinary terminology and conventions at the heart of culture
  • Learns and works in a
  • Reflects critically on own
  • Apply knowledge from multiple disciplines to solve a problem
  • Apply a systematic and rigorous approach to problem solving using the scientific method and appropriate tools.
  • Demonstrates awareness of the limitations of research
  • Constructs and supports scientific arguments using appropriate sources of information where appropriate.
  • Demonstrates digital literacy by:
    1. Using appropriate software and/or programming languages ​​for tasks such as data acquisition and analysis, problem solving, presentations, etc.
    2. Using digital tools such as the Internet for research and collaboration while respecting privacy and digital integrity.
  • Demonstrates adequate reading and understanding of the French language.
  • Expresses scientific ideas coherently and effectively in English, both orally and in writing.
  • Demonstrates academic integrity by using scientific and academic tools appropriately in English and French.
  • Contributes constructively in collaboration with his/her
