"Who are we? We are STEM!" This is how our students begin each morning- chanting, dancing, and enthusiastically affirming our belief that we can accomplish ANYTHING we decide to work hard towards! We know that to accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream!
As the only STEM school in Manhattan, our students are scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians who dream of someday changing the world.
The students of STEM investigate and solve real world problems while developing social and emotional strength- this will prepare them to make a difference in the world. We believe that all kids are capable of success, NO Exceptions!
My Project
Our school community is home to voracious readers, prolific writers, creative mathematicians, brilliant scientists, and hardworking, big-hearted teachers.
Unfortunately, we are lacking the funding necessary to purchase basic supplies such as copy paper!
Please help us provide our students with the paper necessary to support and challenge their beautiful minds! With your help, we can ensure that our students and teachers have the resources they need for daily lessons, activities, homework packets, etc. We are convinced that every single one of our students is capable of success- no exceptions! Your generosity will not only provide resources necessary for learning, but will also bolster our students' confidence and determination!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
