This innovative magnet school prepares students in grades 7 to 12 for careers in math, science and technology fields. The product of a unique partnership between Newark Public Schools and University Heights Science Park, the $64 million facility is a model for urban communities in New Jersey and beyond.

Engineering technology is a major component of the curriculum and of the building aesthetic, resulting in the stimulating vocabulary of the 250,000-sf structure that hints at the opportunities for exploring science within.

The design facilitates interdisciplinary team teaching for the school's 1,200 students, and its location will permit curricular relationships with the universities and mentor relationships with the technology companies located in the nearby Science Park.
