Our Advanced Science Research (ASR) program offers our high school students a chance to pursue scientific research of their choosing at a college graduate level for three-and-a-half years. Beginning in ninth grade and continuing through the first semester of senior year, ASR is a rigorous program designed for a select number of students who are interested in conducting original science research in an academic or medical laboratory under the guidance of a professional mentor. Areas of study include the biological, behavioral, environmental, or physical sciences; astronomy, engineering, computer science, computational biology, bioinformatics, or mathematics.

As students advance through the program, they learn to write scientific research papers and abstracts with the ultimate goal of presenting their research at a regional science and engineering competition, such as the Westchester and Rockland Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS) and/or the Regeneron Westchester Science and Engineering Fair (WESEF). Students will also have the option to compete nationally in the Regeneron Science Talent Search during their senior year.
