The ticket in
to the global network

NCSS (National Consortium of Secondary STEM Schools) was founded in 1988 — a consortium of specialized US STEM schools. Edville is part of this network alongside RFMS and KAIS schools.

The school is evaluated against rigorous rubric criteria: STEM programme quality, student research activity, academic outcomes, and faculty qualifications.

But the greatest value is the network itself — it transforms STEM from "chemistry lessons" into a living infrastructure of experience, opportunities, events, and valuable connections.
