From the Assistant Superintendent's Desk
Welcome to the Bergen County Institutes for Science and Technology website!
The Institute offers students two program choices: Interactive Design Technology and Sports Medicine and Exercise Science. Both of these programs are offered on the Demarest and Old Tappan campuses of the Northern Valley Regional High School District.
Sports Medicine and Exercise Science is a four-year sequence of courses involving the study and application of the scientific principles that underpin physical performance, and will incorporate the traditional disciplines of anatomy and physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, athletic training, and nutrition. Students will cover a range of topics and carry out experimental investigations in both laboratory and field settings to acquire the knowledge and understanding necessary to critically analyze human performance, optimize athletic output, and minimize injury.
Interactive Design Technology is for students who are interested in graphic design, digital art, website and/or social media design. Our students explore topics including Logo Design, Digital Drawing, Color Theory & Color Perception, Smartphone App Design, Virtual Reality, Advertising and Marketing, and much more.
The application site for students applying for the 2024-2025 school year will open on September 15 and the deadline for submission of applications is November 30. Please be sure to review the User Manual before beginning your application. We urge you to view the informational videos of our exciting programs available on our website. I also encourage prospective students to look at the admissions booklet to get an idea of the many courses offered in the program, and to check out the Northern Valley Regional High School website to see the vast array of academic courses, clubs, and sports that are available to students attending the Bergen County Institutes of Science and Technology at Northern Valley Regional High School.
If you have any questions, please email us at nvrhsadmissions@bergen.org.
Stay well!
Sincerely,
Andrea Sheridan
