What is the MC²STEM High School?

In the 2008-2009 academic year CMSD will open the first incubator STEM school in Cleveland housed on a STEM industry corporate campus. This innovative institution will provide students with a dynamic real-world learning environment with a foundation of rigorous STEM based academic principles.

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.

Where will the school be located?

The corporate and collegial communities will be home to the MC² STEM High School. Students will have embedded experiences on the campuses of local STEM related industries and on college and university campuses. Additionally, cultural institutions and community organizations will serve as a learning lab for students during extended and out of school time.

MC² STEM High School will be located at GE Nela Park. The school building is currently under construction and students are currently attending school at the Great Lakes Science Center.

How will students be recruited?

Enrollment is opened to anyone interested. Although “testing in” will not be required, consideration will be given to students who show an aptitude and significant interest in the STEM disciplines. As a regional high school, 25% of the student seats will be available to students living outside of Cleveland.
