SciCore Values
Our values encompass a traditional understanding of academic and ethical integrity. We foster an environment of critical thinking, an evolving understanding of what is needed for young people to succeed, good notetaking, technical writing, public speaking skills, and a deeper understanding of the fundamentals behind each field of learning. We encourage honesty, civility, freedom of thought, and respect for the natural law. We do not encourage enforce or proliferate critical race theory, gender theory politicized science, and extreme ideologies, but rather expect our teachers to give both sides of every argument to help students carefully discern for themselves with reasoning, evidence, and informed personal conscience. We expect and foster maturity in this regard, and believe there is great untapped personal potential in middle and high school students through which they may unleash and refine their hidden talents and find great joy in everything that they do.
AP and Pre-AP Courses
SciCore now offers both AP and pre-AP courses for grades 7-12, a great opportunity for our students to optimize college resumes and preparedness. No competition or preliminary requirements are needed, outside of parental discernment and approval, and AP exams are exclusively available for all registered high school students. Additionally, honors courses are another option to receive near college level instruction in STEM and humanities courses. These courses, combined with our hands-on laboratory and seminar experiences provide great scholastic depth in knowledge that is directly applicable to the higher education and professional worlds.

The SciCore Student Service Corps
The SciCore Student Service Corps is a new initiative available to grades 7-12 to bring about a sense of unique civic and communal responsibility in the usage of individual or group talents. Students commit themselves to projects that utilize academic or creative knowledge gifts.
