Science offers a practical way of answering important and interesting questions about the technological, physical, and biological world. The information it produces is a reliable basis for action in our social, personal, and economic lives. It is a collaborative, dynamic, and creative human endeavor that arises from our need to make sense of the world around us, through investigating universal mysteries, exploring the unknown, solving problems and making predictions.

Our content structure varies according to the learning level of the student. However, some of the things that we cover, include,
- Biological sciences– understanding living things including, plants, microorganisms, animals and human beings.
- Chemical sciences– the main concept that is developed within this topic is the physical and chemical properties of substances. Students learn to classify substances on the basis of their properties, such as liquids, solids, and gases, or according to their composition, such as compounds, elements, and mixtures.
- Earth and space sciences- The main concepts touched in this strand are the solar system, galaxy and the various scales linked to space.
- Physical sciences- the two main concepts that are highlighted in this strand include- forces have the ability to affect an object’s behavior; and energy can easily be transformed and transferred from one object to another.
The Learning House’s state-of-the-art curriculum comprises of digital lessons with video-based projects, animations and simulations. Every page and each click is an opportunity for a student to think critically, gain knowledge and make educated decisions.
