Origins of MVHS

Preparing students to "do" science in the real world of the future means guiding them in "doing" science now. The Maryland Virtual High School of Science and Mathematics entails bringing to the classroom the same team problem solving, technology rich approaches currently used in research and business.

• Building a Virtual Community
• The Collaborative Projects

EOT-PACI Collaboration

MVHS was invited to join a partnership of supercomputing centers, universities, and researchers to develop activities to bring high performance computing applications to the high school classroom.

• The Partnership
• MVHS Teacher Workshops
• RiverWeb^SM Water Quality Simulator
• Hurricane Simulations

Current Partnerships

MVHS works with the partners below to provide training and resources for secondary teachers in the areas of science and mathematics:
