Education Model:
STEM
At IPS, our STEM schools emphasize a hands-on, problem-based learning approach focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Students will have the opportunity to practice critical thinking, problem-solving, discourse, real-world connection, and goal-oriented actions.
Students will engage in Project Lead The Way (PLTW) courses including: Medical Detectives, Automation and Robotics, and Green Architecture. There will also be an opportunity to work with a computer science educator to hone their engineering skills through the application of theory and design principles.
