A pioneering, merit-based, public magnet school is opening in Alachua County, Florida, based on the success of a former Wall Street bond trader-turned-teacher famous for winning math competitions and sending students to Ivy League schools.

The Frazer School for Competitive Academics (FSCA) will focus on rigorous and accelerated academics to prepare students in grades 6 through 12 for national, state, and regional competitions in all subjects.
