MA²S implements a well-developed advanced research program. All students begin independent research projects at the beginning of their 9th grade year. Each year, students design and implement a research project that can focus on mathematics, science, technology and/or the arts. Students present their research projects to fellow students, faculty and administrators, parents and other family members, community members and experts in the field in late April or early May of each school year.

The year-long research program is unique to MA²S among Macomb County math and science centers and is part of the math and science curriculum each year.
