Greenwood School District 50 is expanding Magnet School Choice at the middle school level to include a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics School (STEMS).
STEMS will be located at Westview Middle School and available to rising sixth grade students. STEMS is designed to develop and refine the students’ scientific and mathematical achievement while allowing students to practice skills in exploratory classes. STEMS includes Gateway To Technology, a middle school component, which builds on the district’s engineering curriculum, Project Lead the Way, offered at the G. Frank Russell Career Center. STEMS offers a rigorous gifted and talented curriculum supported by activities designed to help all students explore math, science, and technology. Curriculum includes state academic standards and extensive activities in areas of science and math. The academic teachers will have the South Carolina Gifted and Talented Endorsement and will receive specialized training for the program.
STEMS offers students an opportunity to develop their academic skills in an environment which enhances their science and math abilities. STEMS students will explore their interests, grow academically, and experience science, math, and technology through a variety of engaging experiences. Rising sixth graders will be given an opportunity to apply and interview for STEMS. A maximum of fifty qualifying students will be selected for participation.
