Science

Science at Cullybackey College is all about curiosity, discovery, and understanding how the world works! Our lessons give students the chance to explore exciting ideas in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, while developing practical skills that bring learning to life.

From investigating how plants grow to exploring chemical reactions and the forces that move our universe, students are encouraged to ask questions, experiment, and think for themselves. We believe that science should be hands-on, fun, and full of opportunities to learn through doing.

Our enthusiastic teachers create a supportive and engaging environment where every student can succeed and enjoy learning. By the time they leave Cullybackey College, our students have not only built strong scientific knowledge but also the confidence to apply it in everyday life and future studies.
