What is STEM?
Students are offered a rigorous, accelerated
curriculum, beyond the regular high school curriculum, rich in lab and work-based experiences.
The STEM Academy courses are designed to challenge students with integrated tech-technologies and extensive problem-solving.
Opportunities to work with experts in the field and current technology both within the school and the community.
Students will be involved in authentic research during their capstone projects.
