SQUADS ABROAD

Trenton STEM-to-Civics Charter School

• About
  The mission of STEMCivics is to use STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) to inspire academic excellence, to promote civic engagement, and to ensure students are ready for college and career.
  STEMCivics envisions accomplishing its mission by offering a rigorous academic program in a culture that focuses on care, collaboration, and community. Students will be engaged in project- and career-based learning activities that emphasize academics and enhance communities. These experiences will be augmented by resources from friends and partners, including but not limited to those in governmental, higher education, and cultural institutions. STEMCivics is partnering with Squads Abroad to provide volunteer travel programs incorporating impactful service work in schools and cultural learning around the world.
