Academy students will receive a more intensive math and science curriculum than is customary at traditional schools, featuring an additional two years of math programming, and at least two AP science courses are planned. The lab sciences offered are freshman physics, biology, chemistry and calculus-based physics. On a community-wide level, there will also be an after-school or summer math and science program for nearby students in grades 6-8. All Chicago students entering ninth grade are eligible for admission this fall. There are no testing requirements, and a series of open house forums is being held to recruit interested students until all spaces are filled. Construction to transform the Chicago Commons into the academy began late last month.
