I've never heard of a math/science institute in any of the district 1 schools. Math tops out with AB Calculus at pretty much all of the District 1 schools. Most of them offer AP courses in Chemistry and Biology. Some of the larger schools in Greenville County like Wade Hapton and Mauldin have a more complete AP course offering mainly because they are larger schools.
The course offerings are very similar. ROTC being offered at Wren has been one of the only differences, and as I noted, that is going to be opened up to Powdersville Students next year.
One of my few gripes for Powdersville would be a lack of academic rigor in the science programs. That's coming from a Chemical Engineer, though, so my expectations are probably a bit skewed.
