Recently, there has been an influx of 'STEM' schools popping up around the nation. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. These schools focus on incorporating these four subjects into the curriculum to prepare students for success in the 21st century. STEM schools offer the same key features of a traditional school, such as providing a comprehensive academic curriculum, while at the same time, offer unique electives, classes, and activities focused on STEM related topics. Through these electives, classes, and activities, students learn how to think critically, apply problem-solving skills, and gain a better understanding of the relationship between the four core subjects. STEM schools typically have established partnerships with businesses and universities, which enable students to gain real-world experience in their area of interest. STEM schools are available to our country's youth from kindergarten to college preparation. Some of the benefits of attending a STEM school include experienced teachers and staff, latest technologies and resources, underclass-based learning, and comprehensive career counseling. Parents are encouraged to research and explore the many benefits of enrolling their child in a STEM school.
