North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics

SVSM supplements high school and university courses, taking students beyond the traditional boundaries of high school science and mathematics.

A distinguished faculty of university professors and master high school teachers, working in cooperation with science and mathematics professionals from other institutions, government and industry, guides students through an academic program specially designed to provide experience in scientific inquiry and mathematical problem solving.

Specifically, students learn experimental design, laboratory skills, instrumentation, mathematical modeling, strategies in mathematical problem solving and exploratory data analysis. Moreover, the students learn these basics while engaged in specific scientific and mathematical topics of interest to them.

They also learn about computer applications, careers in science and mathematics, social issues related to science, and communication skills for mathematics and science competitions.
