We meet our students needs by providing a multitude of programming, including programs such as special education, ESL/ELL, Pre-AP, Vanguard Neighborhood, and Magnet. Our talented team of teachers knows each student and takes pride in their ability to meet children where they are in their own personal learning process. Our science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) Magnet Program is a schoolwithin-a-school that services students who apply and are accepted into the program. Approximately 150 students are accepted each year beginning in 6th grade. This program provides an enhanced curriculum and environment that empowers and prepares all students for the challenges of the 21st century. In this technological age, a strong STEM education is vital to the success of our country, our region, and the success of our children. In our magnet program, an advanced math and science curriculum is coupled with technology and engineering elective courses to help our students unleash their potential as innovators and critical thinkers. W.I. Stevenson Middle School is a place where students explore who they are while pursuing their own science, technology, engineering, and mathematical interests. Every part of the Stevenson community works in partnership as we prepare our children for the experiences and challenges that lie ahead. We cant wait to welcome you to our family.
