The STEM Innovation Academy of the Oranges encompasses the dualities of rigor and collaborative working relationships, results, and respect. We have one common intellectual mission - to ready students for college success via exposure to deeper learning environments that are strategically focused on the individual needs of all students. This focus is supported by the belief in all students' abilities and is reflective of high expectations. This allows us to strike a seamless balance between striving and supporting - demanding performance with purpose; systemically engaging students as scientists, authors, creators, inventors, collaborators, and problem solvers. This is a complex shift in mindset in which the STEM Innovation Academy community embraces, takes ownership of, and subscribes.
