Overview:<br />

The Betances STEM Magnet School is part of the innovative learning community at Betances School. The focus on Science,<br />

Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), and their inclusion into the traditional curriculum serve as an incentive for<br />

students to move from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.”<br />

The core strategy of STEM involves hands-on, experiential learning, observation and analysis. Students are encouraged to<br />

engage in, and solve, real world problems through hands-on lessons and structured inquiry, both in the school classroom<br />

and at the Connecticut Science Center.<br />

Special features:<br />

> Students in Grade 8 will have the opportunity to job shadow and serve as interns at the Connecticut Science Center<br />
