At FMI STEM Academy, we believe that building academic persistence is key for high school students who are looking to pursue higher education in science, technology, engineering, and math. We are dedicated to helping our students gain college credits, as well as obtaining industry certifications that will set them up for success in their future careers. Not only do we provide our students with the necessary skills, but we also strive to give them a better understanding of the industries they are interested in by introducing them to business leaders who can provide insight into the 'good, bad, ugly, and beautiful' of the job.
Our classes are small and offer personalized instruction so that each student can get the attention they need to reach their goals. At FMI STEM Academy, we are passionate about helping our students reach their full potential and prepare them to succeed in college and beyond.
STEM job creation over the next 10 years will outpace non-STEM jobs significantly with an expected growth of 17%. Jobs in computer systems design and related services - a field dependent on high-level math and problem-solving skills - are projected to grow by 45% from now until 2018.
We recognize where students are by serving those who would thrive in a home-school style environment and approach to learning. Furthermore, we recognize where students will be once we launch them into the world beyond grade school. A world that requires STEM related skills that are industry recognized with greatly valued soft-skills.
