COMPUTER SCIENCE: COMING 2026-2027

The Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Computer Science program prepares students to become creators of technology through hands-on, project-based learning. Students design real-world solutions while exploring how technology impacts everyday life.The admissions process for the PLTW programs is designed for students who score in the top 50% of their class in STEM subjects. It’s important to note that the process is highly selective and competitive each year, so not all students who score in the top 50% will be offered admission. However, students who don't meet the initial criteria but demonstrate strong interest in the courses may still be granted admission.
