The first week at The Alternative School for Math & Science set a positive tone for the year ahead, blending excitement with the usual first-day jitters as students, teachers, and parents adjusted to the rhythm of the new academic year. Classrooms buzzed with activity as students reconnected with friends and eagerly dove into lessons, while teachers introduced innovative curricula and established expectations. For many, the week was about finding their footing—whether through navigating new schedules, meeting classmates, or adapting to fresh routines. This strong start laid the foundation for students to grow as lifelong learners and responsible community members, in alignment with the school’s core values.
