FVL STEM Academy Up and Running for 2011-12

The new FVL STEM Academy is officially underway for the 2011-12 school year! In conjunction with the nationally renowned Project Lead the Way^® STEM education program, the Academy gives students the opportunity to enroll in specialized STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Math) courses, as well as, rigorous general education courses, providing graduates with the greatest opportunity for success in a post-secondary STEM program.  This promising new venture has been initially made possible through a three-year grant from the Kern Family Foundation.

An important component of the FVL STEM Academy and PLTW is the STEM Community Partnership Team which will be comprised of teachers, representatives from colleges, business and industry, and other community members in the Fox Valley region.  The purpose of the partnership team is to support the Academy and PLTW by addressing issues arising from the implementation of the program, mentoring of student teams, and by speaking to students about engineering and technology.

For more information on what the FVL STEM Academy has to offer your child, please begin by exploring the STEM Academy FAQ.  For addtional questions about the STEM Academy or more information about how you might benefit as a member of our STEM Community Partnership Team (Executive Summary), please contact our STEM Academy Director, Mr. Alan Nolte.
