Welcome to STEM Academy
Students engage in real-world, project-based learning experiences that integrate traditional science and math curriculum using non-traditional methods. Students train to learn and work within a team-based structure, working to find solutions to problems through a wide range of predetermined challenges, within student-driven parameters. Students enrolled are required to be self-motivated, cooperative learners.

Enrollment is by application only. The application window for the 2022-2023 school year is now closed. Students who have already applied will be notified by mail if they are accepted or denied enrollment. Please inquire if you have interest in our program or questions about the application process.
Schools of Choice
If you are not a Waterford School District student, but are interested in STEM, you may be eligible through Waterford STEM Academy Limited Schools of Choice, which is open to 9th - 12th grade students who reside in Oakland County.
Students who have already applied for the 2022-2023 school year will be notified by mail if they are accepted or denied enrollment. Reviewing Schools of Choice applications takes additional time, so please be patient once you've applied. Schools of Choice applicants must then fill out a second, separate application. You must be accepted into STEM before beginning the process to apply for Schools of Choice (SOC). The SOC application will be available beginning June 27, with the window running through August 1.
