Guide and Grow STEM Academy ADMISSIONS

Outside of school events, like open houses, you can schedule a tour of the school (visit website). If arranged on a regular school day, a tour may provide a realistic view of school life.

• Why it matters

  A school visit offers a firsthand look at the environment, culture, and daily life of the school. It provides an opportunity to ask questions, observe interactions, and verify your expectations directly. It's a vital part of an informed choice.

• What Guide and Grow STEM Academy says it looks for in students

  We welcome children who are curious, engaged and eager to explore their world. Students do not need prior STEM knowledge or advanced academic skills to succeed at Guide & Grow STEM Academy. We look for children who can benefit from hands-on exploration, play, inquiry, creativity and age-appropriate problem-solving.
  
  Success at our Academy is supported by a willingness to participate, ask questions, experiment, communicate and try again. We recognize that children develop at different rates and provide flexible pacing and differentiated support.
  
  For admission, we look for a positive alignment between the child's developmental needs, our program environment and the family's expectations. Curiosity matters more than prior achievement; a willingness to learn matters more than what a child already knows.
