West Melbourne
Elementary School for Science
“
Hands On, Minds On Science for the Scientific Kid” defines
this public school of choice. Students who have a natural born curiosity
about the world are the perfect fit for this science-intensive curriculum
that meets the Florida Sunshine State standards. Students unlock the
science of everyday life in unique field experiences such as the Discovery
Gardens — a living laboratory where children observe, interact
and experiment. The school greenhouse also provides hands-on lessons
in plant life and earth sciences. Students get excited about learning
through special events such as the archeological dig and mystery festival.
Science lab, physical lab, skills lab, a media center and TV studio enhance
classroom instruction with the technology and tools to create real-world
projects. The school’s Music program includes Music class, Combo
Art/Music class, Combo Music/Physical Education class, Chorus and Strings.
Art and music projects complement science instruction by inspiring the
imagination and creativity of students in science-based themes — such
as the study of the South American rainforest. In a typical Art/Music
Combo class, students stage a year-end production about a science research
topic.
The school’s character education program creates an intellectually-challenging
and nurturing environment to help students become good citizens of the
world. Students learn to reach within themselves to discover and nurture
the very best of their brains, personality, talents and ambitions. Generous
grant funding secured by dedicated and innovative teachers provides many
unique resources for the labs as well as experiences outside the classroom.
