Academy for Math Engineering & Science (Ames) in Holladay, Utah

“AMES in Salt Lake City, UT is a thriving ECHS (Early College High School) that exudes excellence in learning. The AMES Principal and staff consistently dedicate themselves to empowering a diverse student body to 'reach for the stars' and pursue a college education. Students are challenged to reach their full potential, and given full support to do so. It is truly a rare culture that fills the halls and classrooms of this fine school, a model that certainly many other schools could learn and grow from. I am proud to have my child attend this fine academy.”

“When I compare my children s academic achievements with those of my colleagues the average college entrance test scores are higher students academic achievements gives them more scholarships and their partnership with the University of Utah, not only gives actual college credits from a 4 year university, but gives the student whom must compete with college students for their grades, the understanding of how to handle the rigors of college academic life.”

“Hey there! I'm actually a student that goes to AMES. K I'm not going to pretend that it was easy or a way fun decision that I had to make. I came from a school where I had a lot of friends, so I wasn't just coming here to get away from pressures of the usual high school experience. I came here to get myself a better education. Which I firmly believe I am getting. Yes it does get hard sometimes, but think about it, when will it NOT get hard? I have only been going here for a month but I've already made a ton of new friends and I am getting the education that will help me get into college and succeed in life. Some of my friends haven't been very supporting but I feel that it is for my best interest to stay. And I actually mean that.”
