NexGen Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment (NLAE)
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.
