Encouraging academic excellence with safe and supportive schools and organizational supports
By the time students enter seventh grade, many have already decided, “Engineering is not for me.” However, Charlottesville High School and Buford Middle School have received national and international recognition for their innovative engineering programs.
Our elementary iSTEM program helps all of our students become familiar and comfortable in the tech and engineering world, even in kindergarten. The division’s iSTEM teachers work in all schools—even elementary—to teach foundational concepts, assist teachers in making math-science-technology connections, and build strong pathways into the division’s cutting-edge engineering programs at Buford Middle School and CHS.
