School Description
Stratford STEM School, Lower Campus prepares students to be high achieving, socially aware, scientifically and technologically literate, respectful and responsible citizens, and leaders in a global community. We have a Computer Science class for all students which will include coding, and a return of honors level classes in 6th -8th grade. Please also read our student pledge here Pledge.pdf which outlines our commitment to our students.
Lower Campus students have access to all campus facilities including science labs, a state-of-the-art media center and a new sports stadium. Our rigorous STEAM-based focus will interest students in exploring a curriculum enriched with a design process approach. Our STEAM students partner with the top scientists, engineers, mathematicians and researchers in our region and utilize the most current technologies. Whether it's the science of cooking or robotics, students have the chance to explore and learn in depth. STEAM also helps them learn to think in unconventional ways to solve problems. The skills we teach prepare them for success in a number of different careers, and help them see and understand how subjects work together to help solve problem. Stratford STEM also offers arts programs, blended learning opportunities, Project Based Learning and Encore for its gifted and talented students. On Thursdays we have set aside time to be known as "STEAM-TIME" when students will explore a topic related to STEAM on a nine-week rotational basis. Topics include: the science of sports, cooking, coding, and robotics to name a few options! Community business partners will also help during this time - bringing real-world expertise into our school.
