What Is EVOLUTIONS?

  • It’s a “club” for students interested in science, serious about school and headed to college.
  • It’s a place where you’ll learn how to make yourself competitive for college, explore what you want to do with your life and make a bunch of great friends from other schools — students as serious as you are. 

Worried that it might not be fun?  Check it out: 

We mix it up with projects, games and field trips. In fact, in 2005 and 2006 we visited the Boston Museum of Science, Ground Zero in New York City and 5 universities (overnighter!), including New York University, the University of Rhode Island, Brown, Harvard and MIT.

Still skeptical? Listen to what students from last year had to say:

“When you first think of EVO you think boring smart nerd stuff but to tell the truth it’s more than that. You make new friends, learn new things and plan for the future.” 
Imala, New Haven Academy

“We go on great college trips and have a great time.”
Zakiyyah, New Haven Academy

“All of my top freshmen experiences have come from working in EVOLUTIONS. I wouldn’t trade a second of my time in EVO for anything in the world.” 
Danielle, Coop High School

The EVOLUTIONS Logo

Our logo is a stylized version of the Hopi Native American “Man in the Maze” or “Life Choice” symbol.  It signifies that making the correct choices in life will lead to a place of “enlightenment.”
