Lincoln Public Schools
Science Focus Program
A science-based education program where a unique community of learners is transformed through critical thinking and interaction with the world.

Welcome to Science Focus!

At SFP, we have the privilege to inhabit and create a vibrant space where students actively shape their own learning journey. We are a close knit community of about 100 learners who experience both traditional and unique approaches to education. Here, five outstanding educators provide rigorous learning experiences in math, English, social sciences, and, of course, science. We believe in fostering critical thinking about the world and ourselves, both inside and outside the classroom. If you are an independent, motivated, adventurous student looking for a creative approach to learning, you’ve found where you belong. Students at SFP discover their strengths, interests, and skills, preparing them for a future full of exciting choices and opportunities.

Our Four Values

At SFP, we focus on the whole student, not just academics. Everything that we do is driven by four core values, and we partner with every student and family to help them grow in these areas.

Applying to Attend

We accept applications for the Science Focus Program year round. Please mark your application accordingly to which semester you are applying for. Teachers will evaluate applications as they are received. Applicants will then hear from us late Fall for second semester and early Spring for the new school year. Please call us at (402) 436-1780 for a tour or questions.

The Science Focus Program is located at a unique setting - the Lincoln Children’s Zoo - but we’re much more than that.
