The Syosset High School Research Program fosters academic independence by helping students develop science and engineering practices and critical problem-solving skills. In a rapidly changing world, students are encouraged to identify problems and create solutions. Our goal is to teach them to effectively communicate their scientific thinking. Our Research program introduces techniques from across all major disciplines with the opportunity for motivated students to participate in the two-year Advanced Research Program. This includes interdisciplinary options and awards half-unit bonus credit. Research students are also encouraged to collaborate with outside mentors during one summer to gain hands-on experience in professional settings like universities, hospitals, or labs. All 9th grade honors science students are required to take Research 1, followed by discipline-specific Research 10 courses. After completing Research 10, students can apply to Advanced Research 11, where they will conduct independent research in science, social science, or mathematics/computer science, guided by teacher recommendations and a formal application.
