The Foundation for Science & Mathematics Education
While the school receives public funding for each student, such funding is only enough to cover teachers' salaries and a few basics. Everything else, from special science lab equipment, fieldtrips, summer internships, homework assistance, the Professional Electives Program and faculty professional development is funded by monies raised by The Foundation for Science and Mathematics Education.
For everything that makes SciHigh so special, we rely on gifts to the Foundation.
