Welcome

The Academy for Mathematics and Sciences serves students in grades 9-12 from a four county area in Northwest Arkansas. As an Upward Bound Math and Science Center, the Academy is a college preparation program designed to introduce students to opportunities in math and science and to encourage them to pursue post-secondary degrees in these fields. Students commit to the program until graduation from high school and participate in both a six-week summer residential component and an academic year component. A hands-on integrated curriculum focusing on group and individual research projects in math, science, and engineering is supplemented with course offerings in English, foreign language, literature, and computers. Academy bridge students who have completed their senior year of high school receive free tuition for up to six credit hours during the summer component.
