Alternative School-Math & Science

I am continually impressed with the benefits that having sent our daughter to ASMS has garnered. We, initially sent her to this fairly new Middle School due to the lack of success in addressing the middle school facilities situation in Corning. The Option 2 vote didn't end well, and, then, a group of highly motivated parents took charge and created this new school. We were impressed and enlightened by the teachers and curriculum that allowed our daughter to excel in her middle school education. The quality of the academic/administrative staff is top notch. I appreciated the parent involvement and giving back to the community. I am positive that my daughter has benefited and excelled in high school due, in a large part, to the Alternative School of Math and Science. Her exposure and experience there has served her well in her secondary studies and will definitely contribute to her continuing education. We are very grateful for the dedication of the staff at this groundbreaking school in Corning. I am not surprised at the growth and expansion that is currently going on. Kudos to all of you -- from the initial creators to the past and current teachers and staff. Thank you!

ASMS is the best thing that ever happened to my daughter. She was challenged in ways the public school never could. The enrichment was excellent for her. She's now proud to be smart (instead of hiding it) and soared through her first year of high school. My son was lagging behind in reading and english in sixth grade, and the school did wonders for him. He likes term papers now! Both my kids have gotten an amazing science experience here. Top notch school, hands down.

Best scool we have attended in the nation. We have lived from coast to coast and by far ASMS out ranks them all. Its staff and teachers are wonderful with the students and with the parents alike. All it takes is one visit and you will be sending your kids here.

ASMS has been, and continues to be, a wonderful learning environment for our two children, with an exceptionally caring, committed and talented staff. The teacher to student ratio is an important aspect of the educational experience here. It has been a great advantage to have the continuity of the same teachers for three consecutive years. We have been very pleased with the methodology of teaching math and science so that the students can apply their learning to the world around them and in a more comprehensive fashion so that what they are learning in one subject (english, for example) is applied to another subject. We like the smaller environment and think that it is especially valuable to students of this age. The staff seeks new ways to enhance their students' education and finds great ways to stimulate their thinking. The scholarship program and diversity of the student body is outstanding.
