About Us

The New York School of Science in Kosova (NYSS) is the first pre-university science, technology, engineering, and mathematics institution in Kosovo (STEM). The NYSS High School curriculum is modeled after the curricula of five elite STEM high schools in New York, established and managed by the New York City Department of Education. These schools were founded to attract the most gifted students with interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. More than 10 Nobel laureates, including eight from The Bronx High School of Science, have graduated from these specialized and distinguished New York schools.
Our mission is for the NYSS School to be a school that mirrors the specialized schools of New York in terms of its curriculum, mission, and activities, using The Bronx High School of Science as its orientation model. To achieve its mission and goals most effectively, the NYSS School will employ all of the instructional and pedagogical strategies employed by New York City’s five specialized and top schools.
The NYSS School will provide gifted students with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to challenge and absorb STEM knowledge, develop study and critical thinking abilities, and adopt and apply contemporary research methodologies to tackle the practical and topical issues of the twenty-first century.
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are inseparable from all other fields, including health, economics, architecture, and even social sciences and the humanities, because these are likewise informed by quantifiable statistical data. Therefore, the NYSS school provides students with extensive preparation and a variety of chances for their intellectual development to achieve their goals in a variety of future professional fields.
NYSS School commences at the same time as the sixth grade of the lower secondary school cycle, complementing the MEST core curriculum with advanced modules in STEM disciplines, in order to provide pupils with ever-increasing STEM-related knowledge.
Our faculty comprises professionals and scientists with expertise in teaching and scientific endeavors.
