The Chesterfield County Mathematics and Science High School at Clover Hill is a magnet school in Midlothian, Virginia. The school, which is on the campus of Clover Hill High School, opened in September 1994. The school is a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science, and Technology (NCSSSMST). It was known as the Renaissance Program early in its history.

Enrollment

The school opened with an initial enrollment of 100 students — 75 freshmen and 25 sophomores. In subsequent years, the incoming class numbered approximately 100.

Any student in the Chesterfield County schools is eligible to apply. Applying students must submit two teacher recommendations: one from either their middle school mathematics or science teacher and one from another academic teacher. They must submit an application and take a special entrance test covering math, science, writing, and reading comprehension.

Courses

Contrary to the school's title, it offers many classes in all subjects, not just mathematics and science. When students become juniors and seniors, they choose whether or not to take advanced courses in every subject including mathematics and science.

Students have easy access to AP courses (including Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, AB and BC calculus, European History, Literature, Music Theory, U.S. History, U.S. Government, Statistics, Latin), as well as John Tyler Dual Enrollment courses (Differential Equations, Advanced Mathematical Modeling, Linear Algebra, Microbiology, Human Heredity, College Composition), and some VCU courses (i.e. VCU Life Sciences 101). Many of these courses are offered to the regular Clover Hill students, but because of different freshman and sophomore year courses, they are much less likely to be able to meet the prerequisites.
