Science Alliance

Science Alliance is an after-school program in all SRVUSD high schools that pairs motivated 5th graders (buddies) with high school mentors. Guided by a credentialed teacher, mentors support their buddies through six sessions focused on science and inquiry. The program ends with a district-wide Science Fair on April 17, 2027, where buddies present their projects. This experience helps prepare 5th graders for middle school science and builds leadership skills in high school mentors.

Want to learn more? Parent meetings will be held in person and attendance is mandatory if you are considering registering your child in the program.
