At Stevenson, science education combines rigorous inquiry with the remarkable natural laboratory of the Monterey Peninsula. In our advanced facilities—anchored by the new mathematics, science, and engineering center opening Fall 2026—students engage in hands-on experimentation and real-world research. Through core courses, advanced electives, and field research opportunities, they develop both technical expertise and a deep understanding of scientific principles, preparing them to address the complex challenges of our time.

Discovering Nature’s Wonders at Stevenson
The rich biodiversity of our campus and surrounding Del Monte Forest becomes a living laboratory for student discovery. One remarkable example is Leo L. ’25, who leveraged his passion for natural science and authored two comprehensive field guides which the school supported for publishing and are now commercially available. Leo demonstrates how Stevenson students can combine scientific rigor with authentic exploration of our unique coastal environment.
