STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS) SCHOOL Focuses on these subjects to help the nation’s youth gain the skills required to succeed in today’s challenging world, to think critically, solve complex problems, and drive advancements in science and technology. While the future stability of our economy is unknown and we currently face an economic downturn, parents will take comfort in knowing that science and engineering jobs are growing 70%faster than other occupations. This means STEM School students will be at an advantage when competing for the high-tech, high-wage jobs of the future.
