The Alabama School of Mathematics and Science is the best school any of my children have ever attended. The focus on research (college and graduate level!!!) being done by high schoolers is a testament to the school's belief in graduating true academic scholars. In addition to the advanced curriculum, the school has invested heavily in facility upgrades, providing an environment conducive to learning and living! After attending ASMS, my student was more prepared for college than my other 2 children, and she is the baby! My student also graduated with enough credits to begin college as a junior. She will graduate a year early and begin graduate school at the age of 21. Thank you ASMS for all that you do for the state of Alabama.
