The Academies of Math and Science (AMS) are high-performing schools dedicated to helping students grow in many different ways, not just in math and science. Our whole child curriculum means we focus on making sure kids are healthy, safe, and happy while they learn. Our programs can include subjects like art, technology, and physical education along with the usual subjects to help students become well-rounded individuals. We believe that learning is not just about textbooks, but also about developing good character, teamwork, and critical thinking skills.
We hire the best teachers and use the best methods, systems, and programs available to reach our mission of sending kids to college. Our program is built to provide motivated students in grades K-8 a top-quality education, enabling them to succeed in extremely competitive high school programs and ultimately, college. Each child’s success depends on us, and we are confident that we can reach all children who are willing to put in the effort to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed.
Our theory of change is that excellence follows excellence. As a school network, we only open schools in neighborhoods with a lack of high quality schools. This is what we are passionate about. We know there are motivated scholars and parents in all neighborhoods throughout Arizona, and we intend to reach as many of them as possible. Our goal is for all of our schools to perform at the highest levels as compared with Arizona schools and schools abroad. By reaching success in each of these neighborhoods, we hope to inspire other charter networks to do the same.
