National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology

The National Consortium of Secondary STEM Schools (NCSSS) is an alliance of specialized high schools in the United States whose focus is to foster, support, and share the efforts of STEM-focused schools whose primary purpose is to attract and academically prepare students for leadership in mathematics, science, engineering, and technology. The Consortium supports unique professional development programs for STEM teachers and unique learning experiences for students.

The NCSSS was established in 1988 to provide a forum for member schools to exchange information and program ideas and to evolve alliances among them. As of June 2010, there are over 90 institutional members, representing more than 40,000 students and 1,600 educators. These are joined by over 30 affiliate members such as colleges, universities, summer programs, and corporations who share the goal of transforming STEM education.
