<p>While researching boarding schools, I found this intriguing boarding school.</p>

<p>[Princeton</a> International School of Mathematics and Science](<a href=“http://www.prismsus.org/AboutUs/q6.html]Princeton”>http://www.prismsus.org/AboutUs/q6.html)</p>

<p>Hi, I’m a PRISMS parent , and can answer your questions. </p>

<p>There will be an open house in December, not sure of the date yet. Also, the website is being updated, and should be available soon.</p>

<p>Another more recent article:[New</a> Math and Science School Appoints Former Illinois Secretary of Education | Town Topics](<a href=“http://www.towntopics.com/wordpress/2013/08/07/new-math-and-science-school-appoints-former-illinois-secretary-of-education/]New”>New Math and Science School Appoints Former Illinois Secretary of Education | Town Topics)</p>

<p>Let me know if you have questions.</p>

<p>There is an open house on Sunday, Dec. 8 from 1-4:30 pm. You can read about the school on its interim website: [PRISMS</a> - Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science](<a href=“http://www.prismsus.org%5DPRISMS”>http://www.prismsus.org).</p>

<p>Forgot to say that if you want further information, feel free to contact the principal directly - Dr. Glenn “Max” McGee (former President of IMSA, btw) at <a href="mailto:mmcgee@prismsus.org">mmcgee@prismsus.org</a>. 609-454-5580. </p>

<p>FYI, the course load - English, history, math, physics, environmental science/biology, chemistry, and Mandarin or Spanish. Plus, art and PE. No classes on Wednesdays which are reserved for the applied research program and the global studies seminar. Makes for a long day, but the kids seem to love it. This is the pilot year and there are about 40 students, half from China and half from the US (the US students are about 50/50 boarding and day). They intend to admit another 50 US students for the upcoming academic year. The application is online - but you’ll have to click on the left hand menu (website in the midst of repair/udpate, unfortunately).</p>

<p>Since the website is in the midst of reconstruction, I thought I’d post the link to the application information here:[Admission</a> - How to Apply](<a href=“http://www.prismsus.org/Admission/2.html]Admission”>http://www.prismsus.org/Admission/2.html) . The curriculum should be posted soon. btw, PRISMS requires the SAT, not the SSAT (it’s patterned after IMSA - and RDFZ). Let me know if any of you will be attending the open house or if you have questions. Thanks!</p>
