MISSION 
Prepare every student comprehensively for their next enriching educational opportunity. 
 
VISION
We will develop the most supportive learning community for the students of Friedrich W. Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center because everyone deserves the opportunity to realize their potential. 

Von Steuben offers two rigorous programs: Scholars and Magnet College Prep. Scholars is an all-honors, selective program for students who want the challenge of honors and AP-level coursework. The Magnet College Prep Program offers the same coursework as our Scholars Program, with the option to vary the level of classes to meet individual goals. At Von Steuben, we pride ourselves on our students' academic and athletic achievements, providing a well-rounded high school program in a safe, diverse, and enriching atmosphere. Postsecondary goals are supported each year through counselor lessons, college tours, and enrichment activities, including our Von Connection summer program for incoming 9th graders. We offer many athletic, creative, and academic extracurricular activities. Special coursework and programs include Advanced Placement, Dual Credit, Web Design, Gaming, AP Capstone and Pre-Engineering.
