• We integrate STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) into all core subjects as the foundation for reading, writing and math.
• We are a Project Lead the Way Launch School.
• All classroom teachers are trained in Project Lead the Way (PLTW) and integrate science into their daily lessons.
• PLTW Launch (PreK-5) taps into students' exploratory nature, engages themin learning that feels like play, and encourages them to keep discovering - now and for the whatever future they choose. Students build in-demand skills through inspiring activities that aren't typical in a traditional classroom.
• We offer Science from Scientists in grades 4-5. A scientist comes into the school every other week throughout the school year and works with our students and staff to do hands on STEM problem solving activities and experiments.
• We partner with a Playworks coach once a week throughtout the school year. Playworks helps schools make the most of recess through on-site staffing, consultative support, professional development, free resources, and more.
• Students solve problems, design solutions, and meet challenges through robotics, 3D printing, coding, and hands on building in the engineering lab.
• In the science lab, students conduct hands on investigations and learn about sustainable solutions iwth our aquaponics system.

We offer:

• PreK (full day)
• Discovery Club (fee-based, off-site)
• Outdoor Classroom Experiences
• Lego League
• Academic intervention available for qualified students during intersession three times a year
