We train the next generation of STEMM leaders to actively investigate, to question current practice, and to design new solutions to local and global problems.
The Okaloosa Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medical (STEMM) Academy is an innovative middle school that provides a free and public education to sixth- through eighth-grade students in Okaloosa County with a curriculum focused on academic rigor and acceleration.
