What is STEAM Academy?

STEAM Academy is a comprehensive program for students to recover excused and unexcused absences. This program is tailored to reflect the curriculum that is offered during the regular school week. We want students to learn and enjoy their time while they participate, which is why our STEAM Academy is fun, interactive and challenging. Utilizing our STEM curriculum, students will be presented with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math-based learning, in an interdisciplinary and applied approach.

WhAT ARE THE TIMES?

STEAM Academy sessions begin at 8:15 am and end at 12:30 pm. This includes a 15-minute nutrition break.

Who teaches STEAM Academy?

STEAM Academy sessions are taught by district teachers and supported by district classified staff.

HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS?

The STEAM Academy is a four-hour instructional program on Saturdays, including a short nutrition break. Those specific Saturdays are listed in our STEAM calendar.

What schools offer the academy?
