What is the MC2STEM 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 Februrary 9, 2009 MC2STEM High School
became the first school of its kind to be housed on a STEM industry corporate campus
at GE 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 at the link

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.
In 2009 GE Nela Park became an embedded campus and located students in a newly renovated
LEED certified building.
How do students apply to the MC2STEM High School?
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. Families interested in receiving
more information and students interested in applying to MC2STEM High
School can complete an online application.
