Cohort #1
Our program consists of students that are team-oriented problem-solvers, creative- tinkerers, willing to take risks and learn from failures, while also possessing an increased interest in science and technology.

Cohort #2
Starting with the 2018-2019 school year, 50 eligible selected students entering 6th grade from all Wicomico County Schools will take the four core courses of Science, Social Studies, Mathematics, and English/Language Arts, as well as a designated Project Lead the Way- Gateway course.

Cohort #3
Each course is taught using a STEM instructional approach that utilizes rigorous project/problem-based learning where appropriate, lessons that require inquiry, problem solving, decision making, connections to other content areas, discovery, technology usage inside and outside of the classroom, and cooperative learning with a high degree of interactive hands-on involvement.
The STEM academy is an inclusive "school within a school," where students loop with the STEM teachers and their classmates for all three years of middle school. In addition to these courses, students will take electives of their choosing.
