Thursday, October 23rd, 2025: We’re thrilled to welcome the newest (and cutest!) member of the Citizenship & Science Academy of Syracuse family — Ivy the Calf!

Born on September 3, 2025, the same day our students returned to school, Ivy already shares a special connection with our school community. Ivy is part of the Discover Dairy Adopt-a-Cow program and will live at Fouts Farm, LLC in Cortland. Ivy will help our students learn about agriculture, animal care, and life beyond the city through regular photos, stories, and classroom tie-ins.

Why Ivy matters

• Hands-on learning: Students will be exposed to farm life and agricultural science.

• Cross-curricular connections: Classroom lessons that will link literacy, STEM, social studies, and art to Ivy’s growth and care.

• Community partnership: Our relationship with Fouts Farm supports experiential learning and strengthens our connection to local agriculture.

Stay connected

We’ll share regular updates so families and students can follow Ivy’s journey as she grows alongside our Atoms.

Friday, September 26th, 2025: Citizenship & Science Academy of Syracuse Junior-Senior High School students recently had the exciting opportunity to visit SUNY Polytechnic Institute for a hands-on drone soccer demonstration. This emerging sport combines the thrill of competition with the science and technology of drones, giving students a unique look at how STEM concepts come to life in innovative ways.

During the visit, students learned how drones are engineered, programmed, and piloted, while also seeing the teamwork and problem-solving skills that make drone soccer possible. Experiences like this spark curiosity and highlight the endless possibilities of STEM education—from aviation and robotics to coding and engineering.

At CSASCS, we are committed to preparing our students for the future by providing opportunities to explore cutting-edge technologies and real-world applications of their classroom learning. Drone soccer is just one of many engaging ways our Atoms are discovering how science, technology, engineering, and math can open doors to exciting careers and innovations.
