Department Goals

  • As a department, we believe students must:

    • Partake in an environment that applies and integrates skills acquired through Academy experiences with activity-based, project-based and problem-based learning.
    • Develop an understanding of the nature of science by incorporating the theoretical aspects of the discipline into the real life experiences of the student by exposing the students to a variety of courses using a lab-oriented format that engages them in experimentation, problem solving and problem-based learning.
    • Develop skills in observation, investigation, problem solving, communication and the use of diverse technologies.
    • Demonstrate effective oral and written communication in problem-solving, critical thinking, computational and research skills.
    • Work cooperatively and effectively with others while demonstrating respect for diversity.
    • Demonstrate moral and ethical responsibility when making decisions.
    • Demonstrate the habit of life-long learning while exploring future educational and career opportunities.


    The Bartlett High School Academy of Science, Engineering and High Technology Department is dedicated to providing educational opportunities with a commitment to excellence that fosters pride through example, which will allow our students to achieve these goals. All intentions are made to keep current with the emerging high-technology goals, meeting national standards for mathematics, science, and technology education.
