A recognized leader in STEM education, CREST is a four-year Honors STEM program offered at Paradise Valley High School designed to prepare students for future academic and career pursuits in STEM fields, making them competitive candidates for college and job opportunities.
CREST provides students with the opportunity to study one of three disciplines in STEM: bioscience, computer science, or engineering.
Our instructors emphasize hands-on, project-based learning experiences designed around real-world problems. Laboratory experience, collaboration with university and industry professionals, and a rich campus life provide many opportunities for academic and personal growth.
"I choose to join the CREST program because I wanted to immerse myself in an environment where I could push the boundaries of my knowledge and expertise," -Pranav V
Emphasizing rigor, relevance, and relationships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, CREST students graduate prepared and fully qualified to pursue STEM-oriented degrees at the postsecondary level. Each year, a maximum of 50 students will be accepted into each of the three CREST programs of study. Students who live outside of the PVSchools and the Paradise Valley High School attendance boundaries are encouraged to apply.
