MISSION
The
mission of the Ferryway School is to provide a safe
and secure learning environment where students are
able to work towards reaching their maximum potential.
Staff members strive to create an educational community
which both nurtures and challenges the student population.
DESCRIPTION

Math, Science, and Technology Magnet emphasizes the
skills and processes of all academic areas, with a

the world of scientific inquiry. The Massachusetts

of the classroom and science learning center activities.
This program sets high standards for highly motivated
students to pursue in-depth studies in scientific
processes and to acquire an appreciation of the impact
science has on our lives.
