The CBSD K - 6 science program utilizes the Science Companion curriculum, developed by the Chicago Science Group (CSG). "This is a hands-on learning program that takes advantage of children’s extensive knowledge of – and curiosity about – how things work in the world. The purpose of the curriculum is not only to provide children with the opportunity to wonder about their world, but to teach them science processes as they explore, quantify, and interpret the world. The children are also given the time and encouragement to draw, write, discuss, and reflect upon what they have done. The program’s approach to primary education balances discovery-based learning with teacher-directed instruction.""The Science Companion Story." The Science Companion Story.
