Science Department

Castle is very proud of its science department and the opportunities it provides. Students enrolled in science classes learn a variety of real-world experiences that will prepare them for life after high school. Castle currently offers five AP science classes: AP Physics 1, AP Physics 2, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, and AP Environmental Science. Castle also offers four dual credit classes: Chemistry 2 (Chem 142 @USI), Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL105 @ USI), Genetics and Zoology (BIOL 101 @ Ivy Tech), and Medical Terminology (Asynchronous) (HP115 @USI).
