Please look through the application to familiarize yourselves with our procedures; we have tried to keep things as simple as possible!


Please note that the following procedures have changed:

a) Our application is now completely paperless.  Applicants are no longer required to submit final 7th and first quarter 8th grade reports to us.

b) Students will register for the entrance exam when they complete the online application. We offer three separate testing dates to accommodate our community:November 14December 12, and December 16. Students select their first and second choices on the application; we will notify each applicant of his or her official test date.

c) The Parent Permission Statement is now part of the online application and requires only an electronic (typed) application.

STEM FAIR - What is Intel ISEF?

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), a program of Society for Science & the Public (SSP), is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition.

Approximately 1,700 high school students from over 75 countries, regions, and territories are awarded the opportunity to showcase their independent research and compete for approximately $4 million in prizes.

Today, millions of students worldwide compete each year in local and school-sponsored science fairs; the winners of these events go on to participate in SSP-affiliated regional and state fairs from which the best win the opportunity to attend Intel ISEF.

Intel ISEF unites these top young scientific minds, showcasing their talents on an international stage, where doctoral level scientists review and judge their work.
