Recently I received an email inviting me to an educational meeting at the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce this
morning. Since I try to stay abreast of what is happening regarding education in Gwinnett County so that I can better advise my clients and keep them up to date with what is going on I decided to attend. Was I ever glad that I did!
The speaker at this mornings meeting was Dr. Jeffrey Mathews, principal of Gwinnett School of Mathematics,
Science and Technology, also know as GSMST. GSMST is a part of Gwinnett County Public Schools and is currently meeting in building 100 of Duluth High School and will have its own campus in the fall of 2010 near the intersection
of Sugarloaf Parkway and Old Norcross Road. Since GSMST is a charter school, enrollment is open to all current Gwinnett County 8th grade students who complete the 8th grade requirements and reside in Gwinnett County.
Because this is a school of choice it is highly recommended that parents and students review the curriculum
to learn more about the school prior to registering. GSMST is focused on 3 primary areas in its curriculum; Bioscience, Engineering and Emerging Technology. This school is all about academics and there are no athletic teams. Since it’s all about learning, Dr. Mathews stated that the school staff is either teachers or support staff for the teachers.
For any student interested in attending Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology applications for next year enrollment must be submitted by January 23, 2009 to be considered.

Thank you ,

Once your family decides on where you are moving to, you can then look for schools in close proximity to your new home. Should you decide to move to Gwinnett County then GSMST would be an excellent option and I would be happy to assist your family with their home purchase.
Okay thank you very much .
I just would like to know what grades would be excepted at GSMST .
tahira –
don’t move to gwinnett county with the intent of going to GSMST – they only take graduating 8th graders (rising 9th graders).
just thought you should know before buying a home here.
Can I enroll next year even though I am in 10th grade.
Hi Paul,
I would suggest contacting the school directly.
Hi,
I’m a student currently enrolled at GSMST.
I only know of 1 person who has transferred to my school.
Unless your transcript is off the charts, and you’ve taken all required courses then you probably won’t be accepted.
Grades alone probably won’t get you in. I think you need a lot of recommendations.
But if you’re applying as a rising 9th grader, then all you need is to fill out the applications.
