Skills for a Lifetime
Independence Elementary STEM
Students at Indy STEM truly experience a different education preparing them for careers that don't even exist yet! Regardless of where life takes them after graduating from high school, our goal is that in addition to providing rigorous instruction and learning opportunities in all content areas, students know how to effectively collaborate and communicate with one another and to be creative and critical thinkers. In this they will find success in whatever path they choose for their future.
