The Creative Science School evolved from a successful Piaget/Constructivist program for four- and five-year- olds developed by Jules Goodwin and Deb Dortch in 1986. The program was initially housed at Richmond Elementary School, moved to Bridger Elementary, and grew one grade level a year into a full K-5 elementary school program.

In Fall 2008, Creative Science School relocated to the Clark building and added 8th grade.
