Overview Paragraph

Through a single-sex environment, our school leverages our nurturing atmosphere to foster achievement in math, science, and technology. Our college-preparatory curriculum simultaneously develops studentsÂ’ social-emotional learning skills while providing intellectual challenges. Our rich network of partners have internship opportunities that connect our students with role models and mentors who inspire them to challenge their self-perceptions and counter cultural stereotypes of women in math and science. Our after-school programs provide unique opportunities for students to explore their interests in fields involving math and science. UAI graduates possess the required skills and knowledge leading to college graduation and STEM careers
