North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics - Durham

With first hand experience as a parent of 1 NCSSM graduate and one currently attending in his junior year. I can tell you it's worth the hype. I'm not saying they'll get into a better school, which they will. I am saying they will be a more rounded student, be afforded endless educational opportunities, live in a more diverse environment, live with students that have the same drive as themselves, make lifelong friends, be ready for college on day one. My daughter a freshman in college has seen her friends multiple times since graduation, even with them being scattered across the country. It's a bond that will last a lifetime. For the parents that are considering allowing your children to apply and attend if accepted, don't fear they'll be extremely safe at Smath. Number one school in NC NEED I SAY MORE

NCSSM is an incredible school for academically gifted students. Our daughter was accepted here after many years of maximizing her potential in our local school system. Her prospects of a better life in college has been greatly increased after her incredible experience these last two years. We are forever indebted to NCSSM and the staff for their commitment to every student who attends.

This is a review for the camps. Our son has loved camps for pre-high school at NCSSM. For kids with a love and aptitude for math and science it is heaven. The camp is somewhat selective as they ask for a teacher recommendation, a student essay and perhaps student records.
Camps are one week each and can be day or commuter.
My son absolutely loved this camp. The camps fill up early so consider getting on the email list to be alerted for new camps each year.

Watching research presentations by NCSSM Summer Leadership program students. Fantastic collaboration between researchers @ NC State and NCSSM. Great job to Dr. Latham, students and staff.

Studying at NCSSM was a very rewarding experience for both of my kids.

Both my kids went here, and I couldn't be happier with the education they received. Bonus: It's free!
