What is the MC²STEM High School?

The MC²STEM High School embeds each grade level into a different STEM industry partner. Students will be engaged by a dynamic, rigorous curriculum and project-based learning environment that will prepare them for the 21st century global economy. Request more information about this High School.

During the 2008-2009 academic year MC²STEM High School opened as the first H.B 119 STEM School of Ohio, and the first incubator STEM School in Cleveland. Initially, MC²STEM High School was housed at the Great Lakes Science Center where students and staff were able to integrate curriculum and instruction with science center exhibits. On February 9, 2009 MC²STEM High School became the first school of its kind to be housed on a STEM industry corporate campus at GE Lighting's Nela Park. Providing students with a dynamic real-world learning environment, and the human capital support of industry professionals. This momentous occasion was celebrated with community leaders and supporters during the grand opening on February 20, 2009. See images in our photo gallery.

What are the unique features of the school?
Besides residing within an industry campus MC² STEM will provide the students access to internships and apprenticeship opportunities to gain first-hand experience in specific professions to assist with career planning decisions for what to do after graduation. The STEM school will also utilize a year round academic calendar that more closely resembles a typical business calendar. This will facilitate a more productive learning environment and reinforce to our students what they can expect from “work life”.

The STEM school is also partnering with institutions of higher education allowing our seniors to take their senior year course load on a college campus while simultaneously earning college credits towards their freshman year. This unique opportunity will provide for a seamless transition from High School to college or the workforce.
