Archimedes Academy for Math, Science and Technology Applications

DBN 08X367  •  insideschools.org  •  School Finder  •  2017 School Performance Dashboard
Overview Paragraph

Our school provides a challenging and innovative education focused on math, science, and the integration of technology into all subject areas. Our classes feature inquiry- and project-based curricula and the use of remote response systems. Our non-traditional physical education classes expose students to new experiences that they otherwise might never have. Our students are grouped into four Houses which are divided into smaller single-gender advisory groups led by a faculty member. Although classes change, students remain with their House and advisor until graduation. Our students graduate with the knowledge of math, science, and technology applications they need in order to succeed in todayÂ’s digital society.
