STEM

At Summit Academy Charter School, STEM is more than a set of subjects—it’s a way of preparing scholars for the future. Our curriculum brings together science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teaching these disciplines in isolation, we integrate them into a cohesive learning experience rooted in real-world applications.

Through STEM education, Summit scholars become problem solvers, innovators, creators, and collaborators—equipped to lead in fields that will shape New York, the nation, and the world. We believe every young person should have the opportunity to think deeply, act boldly, and prepare for careers that tackle today’s challenges and tomorrow’s possibilities.

To make this vision a reality, Summit Academy offers a range of cutting-edge programs and partnerships:

• Amazon Future Engineers Program – High school scholars take Introduction to Computer Science, while middle schoolers explore the MyCS Scratch curriculum, empowering them to use coding as a medium for creativity, communication, and problem-solving. This partnership expands access to computer science for underserved and underrepresented communities, paving the way from childhood to career.
• Drone Certification Course – Scholars have the opportunity to train in drone technology, gaining hands-on experience with unmanned aerial systems and earning industry-recognized certification. This program opens pathways to exciting careers in fields such as engineering, logistics, environmental science, and media production.

By combining these opportunities with a strong foundation in STEM, Summit Academy prepares scholars not just for college and career, but for leadership in an innovation-driven world.
