WHAT SETS US APART

An Engaging, Cross-Disciplinary Curriculum

i-STEM Morning Meeting

Students will start the day with fun and interactive activities designed to reinforce STEM fluency skills. Activities will include a personalized class message, greetings,  opportunities for students to share news or ideas, and a short community-building activity.

Number Stories

Teachers will guide students in solving a number story each day using an approach called Cognitively Guided Instruction. This approach promotes conceptual understanding of mathematics, provides robust opportunities to engage in discussion with classmates using mathematical language, and builds confidence in students to solve unfamiliar math word problems. 

Project-Based Learning

Our STEM curriculum will be fully immersive and delivered through project-based learning. Math, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Technology will all be seamlessly integrated to provide our students with enriching, hands-on learning opportunities as they master the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). 

Personalized Learning Time

Personalized learning time is built into each day to provide students the opportunity to independently enrich academic skills through the use of technology and for teachers to provide targeted interventions to struggling students.

STEM Fluency Skill Development

We design learning experiences that promote the development of STEM fluency so that our students are equipped with the academic skills, character, mindset, and confidence to pursue STEM-related studies in high school and beyond, creating a pipeline of future STEM professionals. 

Learning Beyong the Classroom

Field studies are built into each of our project-based learning units, allowing students to make real-world connections to classroom learning. These trips enhance knowledge, understanding, and critical thinking across disciplines. 

our-STEM Closing Circle

This time is set aside at the end of each day for teachers to guide students in reflecting on the day's learning and to deliver important announcements.
