Stage 4 Science
Unlock Curiosity. Build Mastery. Thrive in Science.
At Kite & Key Academy, we know that Stage 4 Science (Years 7–8) is a critical stage where students develop the foundational knowledge and skills that prepare them for Stage 5 and senior science. Our calm, consistent, and structured approach is personalised to each student’s current understanding and goals, helping them bridge gaps, deepen conceptual understanding, and build confidence across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth & environmental science.
We don’t just teach facts—we ensure students truly understand scientific concepts, strengthen their investigative and problem-solving skills, and are fully prepared to tackle Stage 5 science with clarity and confidence.
