    Our magnet program is focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

    We are a school-wide program for all students in Kindergarten through 8th Grade.

     All of our students engage in meaningful, purposeful and relevant hands-on, inquiry-based, problem-based and project-based learning through academic courses, programs and linked learning opportunities.  STEM is integrated into our classrooms through innovative curriculum provided by STEMscopes™ and  Engineering is Elementary®.

     Students will:

    • engage in STEM practices, content, and processes
    • integrate STEM Content across disciplines
    • answer complex questions
    • investigate global issues
    • solve real-world problems
    • meet real-world challenges
