The overarching goal of the science education in Freeport Schools is to ensure that by the end of 12th grade, all students have some appreciation of the beauty and wonder of science; possess sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on related issues; are careful consumers of scientific and technological information related to their everyday lives; are able to continue to learn about science outside school; and have the skills to enter careers of their choice, including (but not limited to) careers in science, engineering, and technology.

The following are the primary goals of Freeport’s science program

To prepare students for the rigors of university study in the sciences and for the careers they will pursue afterwards.

To prepare students to discuss science-related issues intelligently, and strive to become involved in them.

To promote careers in Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Technology, and Computer science, by giving them opportunities to hear and work with scientists from government research laboratories, universities and colleges in Long Island and across the country. 

To introduce them into rapidly growing new science areas and give the necessary skills to succeed in the 21st century work-force.
