SHINE STEM Academy

Mission

Our mission is to bridge the gap in educational and socioemotional enrichment for underprivileged children grades K-12. This will be done through high-quality instruction in line with the school system course of study, strategic recruitment, as well as experienced and certified teachers.

Welcome to SHINE STEM Academy

At SHINE STEM Academy, we believe that every child has the potential to achieve greatness through education. Our purpose is to inspire and equip students from Grades K-12 with the skills, confidence, and creativity needed to excel in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

From hands-on experiments to advanced academic coaching, we make learning interactive, practical, and fun. Whether it’s coding a robot, preparing for college, or mastering complex math concepts, our programs help students shine both academically and personally.

Academic Coaching & Tutoring

We provide comprehensive tutoring and coaching for Grades K-12 along with personalized college guidance. Our programs are designed to strengthen academic foundations, accelerate learning, and prepare students for higher education.

Areas of Focus:

STEM Programs

Programs Include:

Student-Centered, Hands-On, and Rigorous Learning

At SHINE STEM Academy, we are committed to delivering student-centered, hands-on, and challenging enrichment programs that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and high achievement. Our extracurricular activities include academic teams, robotics and coding programs, workshops, seasonal camps, and personalized academic coaching designed to nurture curiosity and innovation. 

Academic Enrichment Opportunities

Digital Arts
Creative exploration through Photography, Video Production, Graphic Design, and Web Design, blending technology with artistic expression.

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.
