STEM Program

Transforming the Future

Christopher Columbus High School’s STEM Program provides hands-on learning opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math, both inside and outside the classroom. Designed to empower students to solve real-world challenges, the program builds interest in high-demand STEM careers and prepares them for the global workforce.

The program leverages the success of the College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP) and Project Lead The Way’s (PLTW) applied learning programs. The three main elements of the program include:

  • College and career pathways that connect AP and PLTW courses

  • Recognition for students who participate in the pathways, and recognition for schools

  • A portfolio of career-focused opportunities for students

AP + PLTW: Preparing Explorers for College & Careers

To help prepare all Explorers for the global workforce, the College Board and Project Lead The Way (PLTW) have partnered on a program to encourage student participation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses and build their interest in STEM degrees and careers.
