AMS Glendale Parents know that we prepare students for the most competitive high schools and for college and career success through a well-rounded education including foreign languages (Russian and Mandarin), STEM programs (robotics and programming), physical education, sports, extracurricular clubs, and most importantly amazing teachers and a true partnership with you, the parents.

In 1994, Academies of Math and Science (AMS) Co-Founder and CEO Tatyana Chayka emigrated with her family from Uzbekistan during the dissolution of the USSR. Upon arriving in the United States, she searched for a K-8 school that could offer her son a rigorous well-rounded education that would set him up for lifelong success. In 2000, not able to find a school that offered the education she wanted for her son, Ms. Chayka founded the Academies of Math and Science.

Her vision was to create a school that offered a superior education in mathematics and science while incorporating foreign language, music, and art. With humble beginnings and only 30 students during their first year, Mrs. Chayka built her ideal program where students could take guitar lessons, perform science experiments, and receive professional art instruction without their parents having to pay for each of these activities.
