"We are writing this letter to show our sincere appreciation for the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science and all the staff. They have been wonderful. We are very glad we made the decision to let our son go to TAMS."

"Thank all of you for everything during our daughter’s two years at TAMS. It was an unforgettable experience for her. As parents, we were impressed and treated courteously by everyone with whom we came in contact. Please feel free to use us as a reference for the program."

"Thank you for a wonderful move-in experience for our son. His first week at TAMS has already proven to be an exciting, rewarding and maturing experience for him. My heart is greatly eased in knowing that [my son] is doing exactly what he wanted, exactly what he set out to do – and is in safe hands."

"Our daughter gained tremendously from being at the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science. She matured in a challenging, vital atmosphere. We appreciated this chance she had to develop academically in a world rich in opportunity for creative, multilevel thinking."

"TAMS was a wonderful experience for [my daughter]. Frankly, I don’ t know what we would have done without it. Early admission to UT-Austin would not have been an equal alternative. [My daughter] is very successful and happy at Stanford University."

"In my opinion, TAMS ranks as among the very best academic programs in Texas and the United States in general."

"Our daughter is just now happily settled at the University of Texas at Austin. So many credits transferred from TAMS that after only one semester at UT, she’ll be classified a senior. She is thrilled and so are we – as she plans years more of graduate school."

"I just graduated [from TAMS] last spring. Now that I am here at A&M, I have finally realized the extent to which I miss TAMS. Three days of classes have gone by, and I am still running around trying to get things together. I now understand the pain of buying TONS of overpriced books. TAMS treated us so well! The two years I spent there were amazing. If I could, I would do it all over again."

"I sincerely believe that my decision to go to TAMS was the most life-changing decision I ever made. It completely improved the course of my life, both in career and in my personal life. I have kept in touch with my TAMS friends, who have all gone on to very successful careers."

"My daughter is living in Santa Barbara and currently working as an assistant research biologist for the University of California at Santa Barbara doing work which she loves, diving off of oil platforms and rigs, tweaking grants, writing proposals and working on independent patterns of study. She attributes her success and happiness to her TAMS experience and the people there who took the time to care."

"TAMS has made all [of my success] possible. You are running a world-class program. Thank you very much for everything!"
