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)
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
