Academic Program
The curriculum of the Young Scholars Program includes course work in various areas of science and technology. All students take a mathematics class (either the theoretical differential equations course or the applied problem solving course), one of three levels of computer science classes, and a science ethics class. Additionally, students take a course in either biochemistry or modern physics. The courses and their associated laboratories are specifically designed for the program; they are neither high school nor college courses. Students participate in classes three days each week.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or program:
“You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn’t kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
