Science, Math and Technology (SMT)
About the Science, Math and Technology Program
Skyview High School’s Science, Math and Technology (SMT) Choice program provides challenging academics that prepare students for college-level study in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The SMT program is unique because students have the opportunity to be a part of a smaller community while also being able to engage in the extracurricular activities offered by a traditional 4-year high school.
The SMT program is rigorous and allows students to chart their own path. At Skyview, students can select from a robust list of Pre-AP and AP course offerings (which includes two levels of Computer Science). Additionally, students have the opportunity to take Project Lead the Way (PLTW) pre-engineering courses.
College Credits
Students have the opportunity to take 26 different AP courses, and, depending on their score, they may be awarded college credit. We also offer several courses that offer college in the classroom through various universities in the state.
