Testimonials
“NCVPS helped my high school experience by supplementing my knowledge with further knowledge in a field not typically taught in high schools. Also I got to interact with bright kids around the state and see how their opinions differed from mine on issues such as supercomputers and nanotechnology.” – Jessica Zhou, Former NCVPS AP Computer Science Student
