Portsmouth Stem Academy

Portsmouth Stem Academy is a private, non-profit k-12 school in Portsmouth Ohio. The school offers a robust curriculum in science, technology, engineering, and math, while still providing a full program in liberal arts, international cultures, and foreign language (spanish and mandarin). The schools philosophy is that children deserve a learning center focused on their intellectual, emotional, and physical needs, not those of adults. Schools should be exciting worlds of exploration, guiding students through what they need to know, and encouraging them to excel in the realms that most appeal to them individually. The teaching structure includes a collaborative open classroom environment with learning groups which incorporate coaching, hands-on practice, and experimentation.
