The Academy seeks students who want to learn, who enjoy working hard, by themselves and with others, on activities and projects that are open-ended, interactive, and often require public presentation.
This makes for a tough but exciting kind of learning that takes place in all subject areas, especially math, science and engineering. But if it appeals to you, and you are a tenth grader residing in Massachusetts, the Academy may be your kind of school.
Admission is selective! It is based on high school grades, teacher recommendations, standardized achievement test scores, extracurricular activities, and scores on the Academy entrance exam. Although emphasis is placed on math and science, the Academy admissions committee carefully considers all of an applicant's courses and activities, thereby ensuring that our students are well-rounded in all subject areas.
