Extracurricular

Chess Club

Chess Club is a great way to spend time with like-minded students who enjoy fun while learning. Chess teaches many life skills including; decision making, logic, planning, strategy, tactics, teamwork, sportsmanship, and even humility. We're excited to have more than 20 regular members who receive weekly chess lessons and the opportunity to challenge and be challenged by their peers and sometimes the Chess Club Teacher, Mr. Brown.

MATHCOUNTS

STEM Charter Academy’s middle school students have the opportunity to participate in the nationally-recognized math program, MATHCOUNTS.  As a participant in the National Math Club, students will gain more exposure to mathematics, learn new math strategies, sharpen their math skills, and engage in a variety of math activities.  Involvement in such activities may not only increase overall achievement, but help shape positive attitudes about mathematics for life.  Additionally, students have the opportunity to compete in the MATHCOUNTS Competition Series and the MATHCOUNTS Video Challenge.
