What was once referred to as our STEM Team is now our Explore Team, which better reflects the various project-based learning lessons that will take place on this team.  

What does the Explore Team have to offer?
·         Lower student-teacher ratio

·         Cross-curricular integration to incorporate STEM and Humanities

·         Flexibility in scheduling

Who is best suited for this team?
This team is suited for students who have the drive to be successful, even if they have traditionally struggled academically or socially.  Students who are highly responsible for their academics and behaviors are far more likely to be successful.
