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)

9

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

consortium of specialized secondary schools

for Mathematics science amp technology and is

accredited by the new england association of

schools and colleges

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

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)

9

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
