Welcome to the
Department of Science
"Science knows no country because knowledge belongs to humanity,
and is the torch which illuminates the world."
–Louis Pasteur
With a dynamic
department comprised of innovative teachers, experts in their chosen field, St.
Basil offers science to students of all levels, from locally developed to the
enriched level.
In grades 9 and 10, students are exposed to a multitude of
sub-disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and physics, enabling students
to find where their interests and passion lie. In grades 11 and 12, students start
to specialize and focus on the discipline which would provide for them a solid
foundation for further studies at the undergraduate level.
Our specialty courses
include Health Care and the unique, three-credit Biotechnology package found
only at SBC. We are extremely proud to be the only school in the
TCDSB offering such a dynamic program geared at covering current issues in
science and society such as genetic engineering, stem cell research and DNA
fingerprinting. Not only does the program make students part of the Information
Revolution, but it is designed to give our Basilian students a real
advantage in their future studies and career pathways. In our state-of-the-art
laboratories, students conduct unique experiments. Most notably the students
extract their own DNA (a top secret biotech recipe)!
The department strives to
help students consolidate skills in order for them to solve problems, make
decisions, and create personal meaning, not only for their own futures but also
that they may have a positive impact on our world.
