STEM education refers to science, technology, engineering and math, disciplines that are important not only for students but for the country in general.
At Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen, our goal is to begin a science program at the Kindergarten level that carries through to the end of eighth grade which sparks an interest in all students for science. We accomplish this through a rigorous Core Knowledge science curriculum, hands-on learning methods of instruction, thinking maps to teach critical thinking skills, various science-related fields trips both inside and outside of the state, and professional development for elementary and middle school teachers in all areas of STEM. At RMAE we are doing our part to capture the natural, inquisitive instincts that children possess at an early age and cultivate these skills into talents they can use throughout their lifetime.
