Perspectives/IIT Math & Science Academy Opening,

September 2008

Illinois Institute of Technology

We have forged a strong relationship with the Illinois Institute of Technology to bring a world-class Math & Science Academy to life. Norman and Judith Lederman of IIT's Mathematics and Science Education Department have been working with us to develop the curriculum for the school.

"The challenges surrounding the teaching and learning of mathematics and science worldwide are well-documented. In response, Perspectives and IIT have leveraged their respective strengths in operating a school and expertise in mathematics, science, and technology within the Pespectives/IIT Mathematics and Science Academy. We believe this school provides students with state of the art mathematics and science curricula as well as a highly qualified and innovative teaching staff. We are confident that our school will enhance the scientific and mathematics literacy of all students and enable them to more successfully navigate the increasingly mathematically and scientifically based society in which we live."
