NOTICE OF NONDISCRIMINATORY POLICY AS TO STUDENTS
It is the policy of the Massachusetts Academy of Mathematics and Science that each qualified individual regardless of race color sex
religion sexual orientation national origin age as defined by law or handicap shall have equal opportunity in education and services
of the Massachusetts Academy of Mathematics and Science
Mass acadeMy of Math and science
is a public school of excellence for 100 academically accelerated 11th and 12th grade students in Massachusetts We emphasize math and science within a comprehensive interactive program The rigor of junior-year classes exceeds high school honors and AP with more than 1200 hours of instruction Seniors complete a year of college enrolling in classes at Worcester Polytechnic Institute a nationally ranked engineering school thus making the Academy the only public school in Massachusetts whose students attend a private university full-time as seniors in high school
2
The state legislature of Massachusetts founded Mass Academy in 1992 as a public school to serve academically advanced youth in grades 11 and 12 in math science and technology To ensure a balanced curricu-lum we developed an equally rigorous preparation in the humanities and world languages The result is a junior-year program that is rich in project-based assignments technology teamwork and inquiry-based learning and a senior-year program that is the same as the freshman year at Worcester Polytechnic Institute Overall small sizemdashabout 100 studentsmdashand high expectations create a community that is serious yet informal demanding while supportive
our school
4
Each year the faculty selects approximately 50 students for the junior class New students are not admitted to the senior class The applicant pool represents about 80 schools public and private in central Massachusetts The acceptance rate is under 50 percent Most candidates are high honors students in their home schools Each year several students choose to attend the Academy in spite of being academically ranked 1 in their grade at their sending school

All students take the same courses except for electives Class size rarely exceeds 16 students Active engagement characterizes everything The school day runs 8 to 4 except Wednesdays 8 to 12 when most students do community service Required courses follow
PhySICS uses a mathematical approach to investigate connections
between concepts equations and graphs Through classroom discussions
and collaborative work students learn mechanics gravitation electricity
magnetism waves and harmonic oscillations With guided supervision
students are required to design and build their own labs Students analyze
their data using statistical methods and report findings in magazine-style
printouts poster boards PowerPoint slideshows among other formats
MAThEMATICAl MOdElINg shows how mathematics is used to analyze
and model the natural and man-made worlds In the process the student
learns the properties and applications of algebraic geometric trigonomet-
ric and statistical functions and techniques that appear in traditional high
school mathematics up to and including calculus Eschewing a textbook
approach the course teaches through open-ended problem solving
extensive computer simulations and collaborative work
Junior year PrograM

huMANITIES is the study of Western Civilization from its origins to the
present with a primary focus on literature and a secondary focus on
history philosophy and the arts Students learn the methodology needed
to demonstrate their understanding of literary and non literary movements
and influences via formal essays discussions group projects and class
presentations
STEM I ANd II (SCIENCE TEChNOlOgy ENgINEErINg ANd
MAThEMATICS) are two sequential courses that promote scientific
research and engineering methods STEM I requires students to conduct
independent research review the literature develop researchable ques-
tions relate evidence and inference make conjectures design experi-
ments and iterate and communicate so that students start to think like
young scientists engineers and mathematicians The outcome is a school-
wide science fair exhibit with advancement to state and international
science fairs for the best projects STEM II requires students to work in small
teams to engineer a new product or process usually an assistive technol-
ogy device Students utilize the engineering design process to search
patents apprentice in shops and labs build prototypes and demonstrate
their products to a panel of expert judges Each year patent applications
and from time to time patent awards emerge from these classes
8
FrENCh ANd SPANISh The goal of these courses is oral proficiency Both the
Intermediate and Advanced classes are student-centered and projectndashbased
Class discussions and activities take place exclusively in French or Spanish
homework assignments are often submitted electronically using student-
made podcasts or as short presentations Class materials include authentic
literature poetry theatre film music historical texts and legends Other
activities may include movie making independent research special projects
games and international conversation exchanges via the Internet Students
are assessed authentically and based on individual progress
COMPuTEr SCIENCE develops computational thinking skills such as algorithm
development and problem solving Major areas of study are hardware web
development discrete mathematics and programming using AppInventor
Students design their own websites and build mobile apps to gain practical
experience
SCIENCE ANd TEChNICAl WrITINg demands that students value purpose
clarity organization mechanics and even appeal when writing about topics in
science and technology Assignments consist of research papers short
essays on topics in science and nature and technical reports Students
participate actively as both writers and self-editors and their writing is drafted
re-written and in some cases submitted for publication All students publish
in our online journal The Scientia Review (scientiarevieworg)

ElECTIvES (1 per quarter) allow students to explore topics of interest with
less intensity than core courses recent electives include drawing water-
color programming cooking turbo kickboxing photography music astro-
physics german creative writing electronics wind energy poetry movie
making mock trial and robotics
COMMuNITy SErvICE Each student is required to contribute a minimum
of 50 hours of community service per year This service represents an
opportunity for the students of the Academy to acknowledge the support
of the citizens of the Commonwealth by working in a direct way with the
disadvantaged members of our society

The state legislature of Massachusetts founded Mass Academy in 1992 as a public school to serve academically advanced youth in grades 11 and 12 in math science and technology To ensure a balanced curricu-lum we developed an equally rigorous preparation in the humanities and world languages The result is a junior-year program that is rich in project-based assignments technology teamwork and inquiry-based learning and a senior-year program that is the same as the freshman year at Worcester Polytechnic Institute Overall small sizemdashabout 100 studentsmdashand high expectations create a community that is serious yet informal demanding while supportive

Each year the faculty selects approximately 50 students for the junior class New students are not admitted to the senior class The applicant pool represents about 80 schools public and private in central Massachusetts The acceptance rate is under 50 percent Most candidates are high honors students in their home schools Each year several students choose to attend the Academy in spite of being academically ranked 1 in their grade at their sending school

All students take the same courses except for electives Class size rarely exceeds 16 students Active engagement characterizes everything The school day runs 8 to 4 except Wednesdays 8 to 12 when most students do community service Required courses follow
PhySICS uses a mathematical approach to investigate connections
between concepts equations and graphs Through classroom discussions
and collaborative work students learn mechanics gravitation electricity
magnetism waves and harmonic oscillations With guided supervision
students are required to design and build their own labs Students analyze
their data using statistical methods and report findings in magazine-style
printouts poster boards PowerPoint slideshows among other formats
MAThEMATICAl MOdElINg shows how mathematics is used to analyze
and model the natural and man-made worlds In the process the student
learns the properties and applications of algebraic geometric trigonomet-
ric and statistical functions and techniques that appear in traditional high
school mathematics up to and including calculus Eschewing a textbook
approach the course teaches through open-ended problem solving
extensive computer simulations and collaborative work
Junior year PrograM

huMANITIES is the study of Western Civilization from its origins to the
present with a primary focus on literature and a secondary focus on
history philosophy and the arts Students learn the methodology needed
to demonstrate their understanding of literary and non literary movements
and influences via formal essays discussions group projects and class
presentations
STEM I ANd II (SCIENCE TEChNOlOgy ENgINEErINg ANd
MAThEMATICS) are two sequential courses that promote scientific
research and engineering methods STEM I requires students to conduct
independent research review the literature develop researchable ques-
tions relate evidence and inference make conjectures design experi-
ments and iterate and communicate so that students start to think like
young scientists engineers and mathematicians The outcome is a school-
wide science fair exhibit with advancement to state and international
science fairs for the best projects STEM II requires students to work in small
teams to engineer a new product or process usually an assistive technol-
ogy device Students utilize the engineering design process to search
patents apprentice in shops and labs build prototypes and demonstrate
their products to a panel of expert judges Each year patent applications
and from time to time patent awards emerge from these classes

FrENCh ANd SPANISh The goal of these courses is oral proficiency Both the
Intermediate and Advanced classes are student-centered and projectndashbased
Class discussions and activities take place exclusively in French or Spanish
homework assignments are often submitted electronically using student-
made podcasts or as short presentations Class materials include authentic
literature poetry theatre film music historical texts and legends Other
activities may include movie making independent research special projects
games and international conversation exchanges via the Internet Students
are assessed authentically and based on individual progress
COMPuTEr SCIENCE develops computational thinking skills such as algorithm
development and problem solving Major areas of study are hardware web
development discrete mathematics and programming using AppInventor
Students design their own websites and build mobile apps to gain practical
experience
SCIENCE ANd TEChNICAl WrITINg demands that students value purpose
clarity organization mechanics and even appeal when writing about topics in
science and technology Assignments consist of research papers short
essays on topics in science and nature and technical reports Students
participate actively as both writers and self-editors and their writing is drafted
re-written and in some cases submitted for publication All students publish
in our online journal The Scientia Review (scientiarevieworg)

ElECTIvES (1 per quarter) allow students to explore topics of interest with
less intensity than core courses recent electives include drawing water-
color programming cooking turbo kickboxing photography music astro-
physics german creative writing electronics wind energy poetry movie
making mock trial and robotics
COMMuNITy SErvICE Each student is required to contribute a minimum
of 50 hours of community service per year This service represents an
opportunity for the students of the Academy to acknowledge the support
of the citizens of the Commonwealth by working in a direct way with the
disadvantaged members of our society

FrENCh ANd SPANISh The goal of these courses is oral proficiency Both the
Intermediate and Advanced classes are student-centered and projectndashbased
Class discussions and activities take place exclusively in French or Spanish
homework assignments are often submitted electronically using student-
made podcasts or as short presentations Class materials include authentic
literature poetry theatre film music historical texts and legends Other
activities may include movie making independent research special projects
games and international conversation exchanges via the Internet Students
are assessed authentically and based on individual progress
COMPuTEr SCIENCE develops computational thinking skills such as algorithm
development and problem solving Major areas of study are hardware web
development discrete mathematics and programming using AppInventor
Students design their own websites and build mobile apps to gain practical
experience
SCIENCE ANd TEChNICAl WrITINg demands that students value purpose
clarity organization mechanics and even appeal when writing about topics in
science and technology Assignments consist of research papers short
essays on topics in science and nature and technical reports Students
participate actively as both writers and self-editors and their writing is drafted
re-written and in some cases submitted for publication All students publish
in our online journal The Scientia Review (scientiarevieworg)

ElECTIvES (1 per quarter) allow students to explore topics of interest with
less intensity than core courses recent electives include drawing water-
color programming cooking turbo kickboxing photography music astro-
physics german creative writing electronics wind energy poetry movie
making mock trial and robotics
COMMuNITy SErvICE Each student is required to contribute a minimum
of 50 hours of community service per year This service represents an
opportunity for the students of the Academy to acknowledge the support
of the citizens of the Commonwealth by working in a direct way with the
disadvantaged members of our society
