    STEM MISSION

     

    The STEM Academy is committed to academic excellence for all students. In order to achieve this goal, we support student learning by offering:

    1. A strong core instructional program designed to help all students meet high academic standards.
    2. Enrichment activities designed to expand students' learning opportunities and to support their cognitive, social, emotional, moral and physical development.
    3. A focused and comprehensive series of course in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (STEM).

     

    STEM VISION

     

    Our vision is for students to experience an ambitious and challenging curriculum that makes post-secondary education a reality. As a neighborhood school, we are an open and welcoming environment where volunteerism and community service are the norm. Parents are actively engaged in their adolescent's learning, and there is strong community and business support. All teachers work within a professional learning community that embodies the belief that improved teacher practice results in improved student learning.
