The Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering (ASCTE) is an American high school located in Huntsville, Alabama. Founded in 2018, it is the first tuition-free residential high school focused on the integration of cyber technology and engineering across all academic disciplines. The school puts a focus on the teaching various topics relating to cyber, technology, and engineering, integrating such topics into core classes. The school is a state-owned magnet school that requires an application. Funds are provided through sponsorship of major companies, in exchange for internships that the students complete their senior year.

Academics

ASCTE offers core classes, as well as additional topic-specific classes related to cyber, technology, and engineering. These classes include Mathematics, Science, English, History, Cyber, and Engineering. There are three terms in a school year, and each class (except for 401 classes) takes two terms to complete. This allows students to do four years of classes in three years.

The last year of a students time at ASCTE is spent doing an internship at one of ASCTE's several sponsors. Notable sponsors include Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Leidos, and Raytheon. This is preceded by a capstone project, which is chosen by the student.

Student life

ASCTE students can choose to either live on campus in a dormitory, or to migrate themselves to and from the school. Residential students do not have to pay for boarding unless they live near the ASCTE building. Food is also provided for all students free of charge, as well as tuition. Activities are regularly hosted, although most events are exclusive to residential students.
