Science instruction in the Joliet Public Schools District 86 is constantly evolving to exemplify best practices for science education while striving to follow the guidelines outlined in state and national standards. Our program provides focused instruction of key concepts at each grade level that build from year to year. Future emphasis will be placed on learning about STEM, careers relating to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, as economic trends indicate a need to fill these positions in the years to come.
