CMIT-N High School decided to build a solar-powered car and take part in a 1,200-mile road race in July of 2022. This is quite a challenging project, but it promises to be a rewarding experience for those who choose to participate. We are planning a virtual presentation session on June 9th at 6:00 PM to explain the whole idea. Upcoming 9th graders may join the info session!

AI Camp (www.ai-camp.org) offers full scholarships for their AI Getting Started with AI, and they already provided scholarships to more than 900 students. This lecture series is the same series offered at Stanford University and will introduce AI and careers in tech to you. No coding experience is needed. Stanford PhDs found AI Camp. They focus on building Artificial Intelligence from scratch at AI Camp – it’s pretty awesome stuff – and along the way, they teach students coding, with a bit of tech career advice here and there from some of the best minds at Stanford and Google. As a result, students see large improvements in their critical thinking, science, and math knowledge. You can register it here: https://www.ai-camp.org/getting-started-with-ai-scholarship The signup deadline is June 14.

Q: Is CMIT North MS a public school? 

A: Yes We are a public charter school who is staffed by PGCPS teachers and administration, and support staff who work along side of a limited CLF staff. We have access to PGCPS support but also benefit from additional guidance, management and financial support from Chesapeake Light House Foundation, whose educational concept this school is based on. 

Q: Do siblings get preference in applying to CMIT?

A: The process of gaining entry to any charter school in Prince George's County is through a lottery. However, siblings of already attending CMIT students are weighted differently during the lottery process. This different weighting gives preference to siblings. 

Q: What makes CMIT different then any other school in the district? 

A: Although we are a PGCPS public charter, we are given some autonomy over curriculum. This autonomy allows us to fast track students, who are academically ready, through selected high school courses in math, foreign language, science and technology. It is that fast tracking that opens up opportunity to more advanced  coursework on the college level while still in high school.  Additionally, we offer students supports and enrichments to every student, not available at most schools. Lastly, we are a uniform school which takes away the distraction, the competition and the social stratification that is brought on by non uniform dress in a school. 

Our test scores oustrip not only county averages but also state avaerages. This, along with other metrics has made us a 5 star school. 

Q: Do you offer everything the big middle and high school's offer? 

A: Unlike many school in Maryland, we do not have a  full spectrum offerings in sports.  Instead, our focus is on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics). Therefore, our sports offerings are more limited.  We offer, boys and girls soccer, basketball, girl's softball, boy's baseball and club lacrosse in the middle school. Additionally, boys and girls basketball, track/field and volleyball at the high school level. With that said we recently (2017) won the girls county basketball championship and made it to the playoffs in soccer. Our high school opened a multi-million dollar, state of the art gym complex, competitive with all schools of their size. The middle school has also added an indoor gym space.  Lastly, we do offer special educational services, but becuase we are a school of choice, the amount of service hours we can provide is limited to 7.5 hours a week, split between literacy and math. Services hours are delivered by special education teachers but are limited to literacy and math courses.
