The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics accepts juniors and seniors from high schools throughout North Carolina. Our challenging curriculum and unique environment attract the state's most accomplished young minds. Our enrollment standards are demanding, yet designed to ensure a student body that is creative, energetic and committed to taking on more than the status quo.

Our halls are filled with students from all parts of the state, representing almost every county, ethnic background and religion. NCSSM students are considered some of the finest high school students in the country. For example:

• Five members of the Class of 2006 were awarded the Park Scholarship from NC State, the university's most coveted scholarship, totaling 10 Park Scholars in two years. Additionally, two members of the Class of 2006 were named Morehead scholars at UNC-Chapel Hill. Three students won the Morehead from the Class of 2005.
• For the fifth year in a row, NCSSM sent the most number of semi-finalists to the Siemens-Westinghouse Competition.
• NCSSM students once again boasted the highest average SAT score in the state. What makes this more remarkable is that the scores are received upon our students taking the test as Sophomores and thus compared to scores received across the state by seniors.

NCSSM is about more than accolades however; it's about a creative learning environment designed to shape the future leaders of tomorrow. New faces, new challenges and new opportunities are found every day here and can be yours for the realizing. We hope you'll consider discovering The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics.
