S.T.E.M. Academy<br />
Science Technology Engineering Mathematics
The S.T.E.M initiative<br />
began as an “idea”<br />
raised during<br />
<strong>Kingsway</strong>’s strategic<br />
planning process.<br />
Members of the studentbody,<br />
parents, faculty,<br />
and community leaders<br />
identified more sciencebased<br />
curricular and cocurricular<br />
programming<br />
as a priority initiative<br />
moving forward.<br />
Goal 2. Objective A.1<br />
Develop learning academies that<br />
embody science, technology,<br />
engineering and math standards.
<strong>Kingsway</strong> partnered<br />
with Gloucester<br />
County College and as<br />
a result developed the<br />
first S.T.E.M.<br />
Academy partnership<br />
in Gloucester County.<br />
<strong>Kingsway</strong> students<br />
will be able to earn as<br />
many as 32 college<br />
credits while earning a<br />
high school diploma.<br />
