HERBERGER YOUNG SCHOLARS ACADEMY

Where the brightest stars gather

The mission of the Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy is to provide profoundly gifted young people advanced educational opportunities commensurate with their abilities, strengths and interests. The school is an initiative of ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College offering a fast-paced, challenging curriculum for gifted adolescents. When they complete the academy’s curriculum, at the end of what would be their junior year of high school in a traditional setting, students will have completed high school requirements and accumulated up to 45 ASU credits.
