Our Mission: To create a culture for passionate investigators to develop solutions for the global community.
Located in Fairchild Wheeler Park, a campus has been developed consisting of three small, but highly focused, learning communities, each of which will provide students with a STEM-based curriculum rich with relevance and correlation to existing and emerging careers. The academic character of this multi-magnet campus will reflect the region’s socioeconomic strengths and incorporate challenging and innovative science, mathematics and technology projects to serve as vehicles for teaching and learning advanced academic and social skills.
The three learning communities include:
Information Technology and Software Engineering High School
Students who select this theme will be engaged in the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the design, development, operation and maintenance of software for careers in such fields as science modeling, gaming, animation, simulation and theater arts.
Zoological Science, Research and Biotechnology High School
Science for research in partnership with Beardsley Zoo and local universities on the study of amphibians, for example, will be a focus.
