Girls IN STEM Academy:
Opening Fall 2024
Girls Can Excel IN STEM
There is a large, self-perpetuating gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) jobs. Girls interested in STEM have fewer female role models, and the gender gap is even more pronounced among girls of color.
Girls IN STEM Academy is a new, all-girls public school for grades K-8 opening in 2024 on the north side of Indianapolis. This groundbreaking school will be operated by Paramount Schools of Excellence in partnership with Girl Scouts of Central Indiana, Every Girl Can STEM™ and Purdue Polytechnic High School.
This new school will allow girls to thrive and excel in a supportive environment and study STEM along with a core curriculum, preparing them to excel in high school, college and a rewarding STEM career. The enrollment window will open in November 2023. Join the mailing list for more details and information on enrollment.
