Academy of Math, Science, and Technology (Grades 3 - 5)

The Academy of Math, Science, and Technology offers a comprehensive, hands-on curriculum that fully integrates math, science, and technology in a real-world context. Individually, and in teams, students participate in thematic units of study that emphasize higher-order thinking, problem-solving, and data analysis. Units of study focus on science and math explorations while using technology as a tool for analysis and presentation of findings. Our program draws upon the knowledge of experts and guest speakers to provide a bridge between theory and practice and enhance classroom instruction.
