Our proposed school will be a replication of our successful schools Syracuse and Utica Academies of Science, and Syracuse Academy of Science and Citizenship. Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School (SASCS) has more than 1400 students on its waiting list.

The key design elements of the proposed school are: 1. College Prep, 2. Focus on STEM and environmental education, 3. Home visits, 4. Student-centered school structure (tutoring and after-school activities, extended school day and year, small school environment), 5. Glocal education (teaching to think globally and act locally through character-building education, mentorship program, community service, international trips and activities, and various citizenship programs), and 6. Performance-based accountability.
