Biology Courses

 Since Winter of 2013 SpringLight started USABO training class for students in 7th to 12th grade., every year we have 30% to 50% of total students qualifying for the semifinals, and every year we've had one student qualify for the finals to the top 20 in the entire nation. In 2018 total 17 students qualified as semifinalist and  two of them are in the national top 50. (each year there are only a total of 20 finalists nationally). 

Every year we have 9th graders qualifying for the USABO semifinal.

Most of our students receive a score of 5 on their AP biology test.

Many of them score an 800 on the SAT II Biology.
