About Our School

Our STEM-focused microschool integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics across all learning experiences. We believe hands-on experimentation and design thinking develop both technical skills and critical thinking abilities that serve students in any field. Through maker projects, coding activities, and engineering challenges, students learn to approach problems creatively, iterate on solutions, and collaborate effectively. Our inquiry-based approach ensures deep understanding while building confidence in STEM fields.


Educational Philosophy: We help students become discerning consumers of media and information.
