Why
SSMA
During its inaugural year, our newest campus received an A-rating and 7 distinction designations from Texas Education Agency. We challenge students through project-based learning, collaboration, and competitions. Our program allows students to explore a world of interdisciplinary models based on integration, assessment, and delivery of useful skills. We believe students who receive STEM education will be prepared to face real life problems with more creativity, critical thinking, and effectiveness. Our students are ready for an ever-changing society.

The number one reason students work hard is to make their family proud. Families who show an interest and involvement in a child’s learning are powerful motivators. You don’t have to have the answers. Ask your child to teach you what they are learning. Access our family resources for more tips and tools to support children and learning.
