STEM Accredited transforms culture and raises student achievement by helping your campus / organization in becoming a 21st century STEM learning environment. Through valid and reliable processes, tools and training, STEM Accredidation ensures that even the most effective educators and programs continually assess and improve to meet the needs and demands of the real world.
Using a set of rigorous research-based standards and evidence based criteria, STEM Accreditation examines the whole institution – the policies, programs, practices, learning conditions and cultural context – to determine how well the parts work together to carry out the institution’s vision and meet the needs of every learner.
STEM Accredited recognizes individual school / College / organization for their commitment to – and growth in – educators’ implementation of 21st Century and STEM strategies.
STEM Champ is a support system for schools / colleges / organizations seeking to improve their implementation of STEM practices. With the support of an experienced STEM leadership coach, campuses craft and implement a STEM Action Plan to become a 21st-century STEM campus.

Our school has completely changed for the better since we’ve trained with STEM. We teach children from preschool through grade 12, so it can be difficult to find programs that cater to all of our needs. STEM took into account the grade level taught by each educator and also gave us ways to work towards a common goal. The support we have received since becoming accredited has been invaluable.
