We believe teachers are the real miracles of modern science.

Teachers get up every morning knowing they have the potential to change the world – just by showing up in the classroom and inspiring a love of science. Yes, they may feel overworked and even underappreciated. But by some miraculous feat, they remain true to their mission, touching the lives of students by imparting the gifts of knowledge and curiosity. We know. Because Carolina equips them for the task.
