My Students

"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 amazing actors, artists, set designers, and stage managers are hard at work on our upcoming production of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

In the words of Roald Dahl, we want to build a World of Pure Imagination!

Our students are applying their technology, engineering and math knowledge as well as developing leadership skills as they design and build the weird and wonderful Wonka Chocolate Factory. This is an opportunity for real world applications of the Engineering Design Process and an outlet for creative expression! A bubble machine, fog machine, and a few other props will really help our students' vision come to life!
