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.
