STEM and Career Explorations What is STEM? Investigate the present… invent the future Our Mission Jardine STEM and Career Explorations Academy is dedicated to providing a positive educational environment that challenges and supports all students to be successful learners. The staff is committed to ensuring the academic success of all students through a collaborative culture of learning and instruction. “We love this school and we are proud to be Jardine Jaguars.” Jardine Parent Proudly educating students in grades 6-8. About Our Theme Our combined STEM and Career Explorations theme is centered on the national importance in education to prepare competitive citizens for the high speed, technology-rich, innovative, and global economy that 21st century students will experience as adults. Students attending Jardine have the unique opportunity to receive strong foundational knowledge in the four interrelated domains of STEM literacy: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Our focus on developing STEM practices provides students with significant and meaningful opportunities to conduct investigations, gather and use information, consider societal issues, and solve problems using critical thinking and technology as tools. Enhancing the school’s curriculum and culture with the integration of a STEM focus equips students for their future by building specific skills needed to be prepared for the workforce of tomorrow. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. STEM is multi-discipline based, incorporating the integration of other disciplinary knowledge into a new whole. Technology helps us communicate; Math is the language; Science and Engineering place emphasis on the processes for thinking and the design of solutions instead of the solutions themselves. This approach allows students to develop the critical thinking skills that can be applied to all content areas. Instructional practices promote curiosity, exploration, collaboration, and active participation in the learning process.
