About Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to encourage scholars to reach their full potential by providing stem focused hands-on integrative learning.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to bridge the gap of enrollment in STEM fields. We aim to help teach children how to think, not what to think. To use their natural ability, creativity and energy to build, and create which is all part of STEM learning and STEM-related careers for the future.
more about us
Founded by a stem professional, turned public school educator. Stem Prep Academy is an independent micro school, which aims to equip scholars to learn through stem engagement. Classrooms are multi-age with personalized one on one learning. Multi-age classrooms remove pressure and feelings of inadequacy from children, creating an environment where they can learn, succeed, and flourish.
OUR VALUES
- Infinity: We believe our scholars' potential is boundless. We integrate foreign language daily and expose scholars to multicultural experiences.
- Integrity: We instill hard work, honesty, respect and courage into our scholars so that they develop their own values and beliefs and make the right decisions even no one is watching.
- Innovation: We constantly expose our scholars to hands on learning, experiments and entrepreneurship. We develop our scholar’s creativity and problem-solving skills to encourage them to explore, and research to uncover something new.

One on One Learning
Literacy & Math Differentiation and Intervention
state of the art micro-SCHOOL
Micro school, one on one individualized learning with interactive smart boards for scholars to learn. Innovative approach to engagement & learning. A child may be advanced in one area – such as reading – and behind in another – such as math. Normal development takes place within a range, not at a specific age. Multi-age classrooms remove pressure and feelings of inadequacy from children, creating an environment where they can learn, succeed, and flourish. The benefits of multi-age classrooms are that they put learning at the center. The older students in the class help teach the younger students, the younger children can seek guidance from older students. This develops a child led learning environment.
