The SCIMATECH Academy provides an opportunity for students to tailor their course of study in the junior and senior years to emphasize mathematics, science, and technology. The academy is divided into four pathways. Each pathway is an area of specialization within the academy. Upon deciding to enter this academy, you must select a pathway from among those listed below:
| CYBERSPACE for students interested in careers as computer programmers, engineers, software designers, hardware designers, and related field. | ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ECOLOGY for students interested in careers such as ecologist, waste management specialist, research scientist, and related fields. |

SCIMATECH Academy Requirements
Each student in the SCIMATECH Academy is required to take:
The required semester courses are not included in the four years of math and science.
Students will also be required to complete a senior project in their pathway. This can be satisfied through the completion of an internship or an approved senior research project. In either case, at the completion of the research, students will present and defend their projects before the academy's research evaluation panel for approval as part of the graduation requirement for the academy.
SCIMATECH students will participate in a variety of activities to include field trips, career shadowing, contests, competitions, guest speakers, workshops, conventions, summer employment and more!
