A Message from the Principal

A Message from the Principal

The STEM Magnet Academy is the very first Chicago Public School with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as its educational foci. STEM Magnet Academy opened its doors to Kindergarten - Third grade students on September 6, 2011. We now service students in grades K-8.

Education at STEM Magnet Academy: The acronym STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math. The STEM curriculum is designed to incorporate the STEM components into all disciplines. STEM education changes the typical teacher-centered classroom by incorporating a curriculum that utilizes problem-solving, discovery, exploratory learning and requires students to actively engage in a problem in order to find its solution.
