Academic Coaching
Personalized coaching that focuses on building study skills, designing individualized learning plans, setting high expectations, and continuous evaluation and assessment for measurable growth.

Personalized Learning

At SHINE STEM Academy, we recognize that every student learns differently — in unique ways and at their own pace. Our approach begins by identifying each student’s current skill level, assessing prior knowledge, and then creating individually paced learning tasks that match their needs and interests. This ensures that every learner feels supported and challenged. 

Competency-Based Learning

Progress at SHINE STEM Academy is measured by mastery of key skills and knowledge, not by the amount of time spent in class. Students advance when they can demonstrate understanding of core concepts through performance-based tasks, projects, and standardized assessments. This approach ensures that every achievement reflects real learning and readiness for the next step. 

Learning Anytime, Anywhere

We believe learning goes far beyond the classroom walls or the academic calendar. At SHINE STEM Academy, students have the opportunity to engage in learning experiences that extend beyond the school day and school year. With access to flexible schedules, digital tools, and innovative resources, students can learn anytime, anywhere — making education more dynamic and accessible.

Student Ownership of Learning

Our students are encouraged to take charge of their own growth. They learn how to become “smarter” by applying consistent effort and strategy to their tasks. Through reflection, self-assessment, and formative evaluations, students identify their strengths, address challenges, and set goals for themselves. This sense of ownership prepares them to meet and exceed college and career readiness standards with confidence.
