WHY AMS II
A Blue Ribbon school where every scholar is known.
At AMS II, math and science come alive through hands-on, minds-on learning. Scholars take AP and college-credit courses from 9th grade, travel for international science research, intern in the city, and build community projects as a team. Academic and social-emotional support are part of every day.
Our mission: IMPACT. We encourage students to Inquire with curiosity, Make Meaning through critical thinking, Problem-Solve through innovation, Act with Integrity, Collaborate to strengthen our community, and Thrive with Purpose, so every scholar is prepared to make a meaningful impact in college, career, life, and the world around them.
