LEARNING TODAY LEADING TOMORROW
Welcome to Prestige STEM Academy, where education meets inspiration!
Our school is dedicated to providing a dynamic and nurturing learning environment for students of all ages.
OUR SCHOOL
Prestige Stem Academy is an academically excellent, STEM focusing ,college preparatory school committed to an empowering environment in which students realize their greatest creative, ethical, intellectual, and physical promise. We are defined by an energized, attentive, and diverse student-teacher culture.
Prestige STEM Academy is a special place to grow for the challenges of a fast-changing world. As per our mission, we try to provide maximum flexibility. As such, our students are able to choose between credit vs. non-credit courses and group vs. 1-1 sessions for a comprehensive K-12 curriculum (ranging from state standard and ELD level courses to AP and competition level courses).
The school was started as an enrichment-only program in 2001 by Dr. Janet Jiang, and has grown to include credit-awarding private school classes and degree-awarding programs. Because of the schools roots, Prestige STEM Academy continues to provide enrichment based courses, but has shifted its focus towards a more traditional private school approach as well.
OUR MISSION
Prestige STEM Academy aims to serve students who struggle within the public school system. We believe that each student has a unique situation that must be addressed flexibly. While many students may fit in well within the public school system, we've found that there are quite a few who need specialized attention and programming to learn to reach their full potential.
At Prestige STEM Academy, we provide a holistic education that teaches students how to think and communicate. Within these parameters, we aim to be as flexible as possible so that each of our students can properly attain an education under his or her specific circumstances.
