Discover Your Future at Aurora Science & Tech!
At Aurora Science & Tech, students in grades 6–8 build a strong foundation for high school, college and beyond. Caring relationships are at the heart of our community, helping every student feel known, supported and encouraged to achieve. Through learning in reading, writing, math and science, students develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to prepare for college, career and life.
Opened in 2019 as DSST’s first school in Aurora, Aurora Science & Tech is part of Aurora Public Schools. Our mascot, the Great Horned Owl, reflects the wisdom, forward thinking and integrity we encourage in our students as they explore their interests and imagine their futures.

How to enroll
Our free online application opens December 1. If more students apply than we have seats available, a lottery determines who is offered a seat. Priority is given to:
-
Siblings of current AST students
-
Students who live within the Aurora Public Schools district
-
Students who live outside the district
We’ll let you know if your student is offered a seat and ask you to confirm that they’ll attend. If a seat isn’t available, your student will be placed on a waitlist. Applications close on January 19, 2027. Applications received after the deadline will be added to the waitlist based on the priorities above.
