WELCOME TO THE ADVANCED MATH & SCIENCE ACADEMY PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL!

The Advanced Math and Science Academy (AMSA) is a public charter school open to all students. Currently, we serve over 600 students in grades 6 through 10. In 2009 we will be adding grade 11 and in 2010 we will be adding grade 12.

In 2005 we opened AMSA in recognition of the need endorsed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics that algebraic activities should begin in the very first years of schooling. We also started AMSA to promote creative teaching and active learning in science, technology, computer science, and the humanities.At AMSA, the curriculum for all subjects is strong and aligned with state standards. Our MCAS scores are among the highest and interest in our school continues to grow. In addition to our strong math, science, and humanities programs, AMSA has recently launched a "Writers of the Month Program." Each month at AMSA, exceptional student writing is recognized in a

"The cornerstone of our teaching philosophy is a firm belief that children of all backgrounds and abilities are able to learn complex, abstract concepts at an early age and build on them as they develop."
