Twenty-six students from twelve area middle schools have been selected for the School for Science and Math Class of 2019. Students were selected from over 150 applicants on the basis of test scores, grades, personal essays, teacher recommendations, and in-person interviews. These students are the ninth cohort to begin the program.

These students will meet each week at Vanderbilt University for an entire class day and participate in a research-based, hands-on, interdisciplinary curriculum. There is also a summer component and students will graduate after 4 years having earned 7 honors elective course credits.
