RAMS

Regional Academy for Math and Science

.
Under Construction in May of 2008

Located south of Oelwein on Highway 150

Opening in the Fall of 2008

An Educational Partnership Between Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) and Northeast Iowa Area High Schools

The Vision

Rural Iowa needs high schools that can work together to offer students the same opportunities that students in urban parts of the state enjoy. The concept of a regional academy provides an opportunity for students from the surrounding areas to take advantage of course work not offered in their home district. The academy will offer advanced course work that might include technology/information technology, engineering, advanced science and math courses. Partnering with the regent universities to offer summer or night course work for teacher education is also part of the plan as well as a regional center for gifted and talented programs.
