Girls embracing science

In 1992, LFA opened three new science labs, which immediately fostered a flurry of interest in the sciences. Today, girls at LFA are five times more likely to take courses like Physics 12 than high school girls across BC. With the extraordinary demand for science courses, the school has found itself bumping up against the limitations of "only" having three labs. In recent years, more than half of graduating students have gone on to take science (both pure and applied) at university. We are stretched to the very limit for scheduling the science classes requested by our students.
