Academy of Science

Our Academy of Science stands as a prestigious and rigorous academic track, custom-tailored for high-achieving students.

The Academy of Science has two primary objectives. Firstly, it aims to enhance students' understanding of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) by applying the knowledge to real-world challenges and guiding them towards their career aspirations. Secondly, it strives to prepare and equip students for freshman-level University of California (UC) science classes and their corresponding lab sections. To achieve this goal of producing college-ready scholars, the Academy of Science educators focus on instilling and cultivating critical objectives for success in any STEAM degree program.
