The Opportunity:

At Mastery, we have fully embraced the Next Generation Science Standards framework to create a transformative learning environment. The NGSS approach empowers students to become active participants in their own learning, fostering deep understanding, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for scientific exploration. From the moment they enter our buildings, our young scientists engage with the core ideas and crosscutting concepts of science through engagement in the practices of science and engineering. As a teacher, you will have the opportunity to engage with this cutting-edge approach, impacting students' lives in meaningful ways.

Our K-12 program includes NGSS –aligned curricula that allows our students to actively engage in hands-on experiments, data analysis, and problem-solving, mirroring the experiences of real scientists. Students tackle real-world challenges, enhancing their problem-solving skills and developing a deeper appreciation for the relevance and impact of science in their lives.
