A College-Ready Academy
Stern MASS teachers provide a challenging curriculum intended to prepare students to succeed in a four-year college or university upon graduation. With a math and science focus, the students take four years of each subject in order to be prepared to major in these areas. All students take the required A-G course requirements to successfully apply to any University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU).
