“NCSSM Online … allowed me to experience a lot of what the school has to offer in academics and the arts… the experience was inarguably one of the best I've ever had, and the classes I was able to take have shaped who I've become, the way I think, and my career prospects (it may sound strange to say a school known for Science and Mathematics turned me towards a career in Education, but it's true!).”

Supplemental Programs “I attended Labs 4 Learning… that camp was the reason I came to the school. It helped me to come out of my shell, being with students who were so similar to me and who lived so close to me. It also exposed me to new things and gave me opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise. … This school has already changed me so much (for the better) and I can't wait to see what it will help me do in the future.”
