Secrets to Academic Excellence - Seven Nobel Prizes - One School

We ran across an article all about a school in the Bronx that excels at Physics.

Seven of its former pupils having gone on to win a Nobel Prize for Physics, Bronx High School of Science is amazing  - see http://idigphysics.com

THe article covers how this school has focused on excellence and a special focus on Physics over the years.  The rich history and tradition makes it "cool" to be into science and physics as a young person.  There might be a few nuggets to glean on how we can all cultivate a joy in science. Of course it certainly takes a certain type of student to have a lust for the challenges

"The school's most fearsome physics module – Advanced Placement Physics C – is tougher than most college-physics courses."
