STEM Skool
Programs
Structured, small-group experiences designed to develop strong thinking, problem-solving, and real academic capability.
STEAM Immersion Cohort (Fridays)
A structured experience for
homeschooled students in 1st-12th grade
The STEAM Immersion Cohort is a half-day, interdisciplinary experience designed for 1st-12th grade homeschooled students to engage deeply with science, engineering, mathematics, and design.
Students work in small groups across multiple environments, developing their ability to think critically, solve complex problems, and build real understanding through investigation and application.
Our theme for 2026-27 is Chemistry: Food, Art, and Human Performance.
In this interdisciplinary experience, students investigate chemistry through laboratory experiments, food science, and the science of human performance.
- In the Chemistry block, students study atomic structure, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and solutions through experimentation and quantitative analysis.
- In the Food Art & Design studio, they explore the chemistry and structure of food through color, texture, fermentation, and plating.
- The Human Performance block examines energy metabolism, muscle physiology, and cardiovascular function to understand how the body converts chemical energy into movement.
Cohort Structure
Students are grouped into elementary, middle, and high school cohorts to support appropriate challenge and collaboration.
Each cohort is capped at 16 students to ensure focused instruction and meaningful collaboration.
High School Credit
High school students may earn one full science credit (180 hours) upon completion of the full program.
Schedule
Programs meet weekly on Fridays from 9:30am to 1:30pm from September 14, 2026, to May 28, 2027.
Breaks:
November 23rd to November 27th
December 21st to January 1st
March 22nd to April 3rd

Friday Studio Extension
Enrichment studios available to Friday
STEAM Immersion program participants
Students registered for the Friday STEAM Immersion Cohort may extend their day from 2 PM to 3 PM with specialized enrichment studios designed to deepen academic skills and creative exploration.
Spanish I
Grades 8-12
Spanish I introduces students to foundational Spanish grammar, vocabulary, and conversational skills while exploring language through cultural context and practical communication. Students develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities while building confidence using Spanish in real-world situations.
Annual Tuition: $810
Per Semester: $405
Pay In Full: $765
Monthly (9 Payments): $90
College Prep Studio: SAT Strategy
Grades 9-12*
*Prerequisite: Algebra 2 with Trigonometry
College Prep Studio helps students strengthen the analytical thinking and problem-solving skills needed for success on the SAT. Students practice reading analysis, mathematical reasoning, and test-taking strategies while learning approaches that build confidence and improve performance on standardized college entrance exams.
Semester Tuition: $450
Pay In Full: $405
Monthly (9 Payments): $50
Future City Design Studio
Grades 6-12
Future City Design Studio prepares students to participate in the national Future City engineering competition. Students work collaboratively to design innovative cities that address real-world engineering challenges. The studio integrates architecture, infrastructure design, sustainability, and systems thinking while strengthening teamwork, research, and presentation skills.
Annual Tuition: $270
Pay In Full: $225
Monthly (9 Payments): $30
Engineering Studios
A dynamic afternoon program where curious, driven students step into the role of engineer
Students take on real design challenges, explore how things work, and build solutions alongside peers who are just as eager to think, question, and create. Over the course of the year, they develop the ability to approach complex problems, test ideas, and bring concepts to life in a collaborative environment shaped by strong technical guidance.
Program Structure
Students meet weekly in small, grade-based groups, with sessions designed to build skill and momentum over time.
Each session centers on problem-solving, design, and collaborative thinking, with ideas developed and refined across the year.
Sessions are held in the afternoon and aligned with local school schedules. Final times will be confirmed as school partnerships are established.
What Students Experience
Students engage in a sequence of engineering challenges that require them to analyze problems, test ideas, and develop solutions over time.
Across the year, students explore systems, structures, and materials while applying both technical thinking and creative reasoning. Work is collaborative and iterative, with ideas strengthened through discussion, testing, and refinement.
Students also benefit from exposure to engineers and STEM professionals, gaining insight into how these ways of thinking extend beyond the classroom.
Registration
Engineering Studios will open with limited availability.
Join the interest list for early access and priority registration as partnerships are finalized.
