We believe that students learn when they are engaged, excited, and challenged. Our talented faculty and staff help students develop higher level thinking skills, including the ability to synthesize, differentiate, analyze, hypothesize, and integrate learned information. With inquiring and analytical minds, students learn to utilize these skills to facilitate discussions, engage in debates, and present research-based proposals, as examples of their own learning.
The mission of the Science Academy STEM Magnet is to provide a rigorous and supportive STEM-based educational environment where students of all socio-economic and diverse backgrounds will be inspired to lead lives filled with learning, innovating, and contributing towards a better tomorrow.
