Does your little one already seem to love all things science, exploration + tech? Are you hoping to help them build concrete life skills like critical thinking, computation, and problem-solving?

Enter: Wake Forest Magnet Elementary School iSTEM Program — an innovative curriculum that pairs the principles of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with an engaging, hands-on learning environment.

At Wake Forest iSTEM, student spaces are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and encourage collaboration and analysis. The goal? To prepare children K-5 to thrive in a world that’s rapidly changing by equipping them with the flexible skills they need to succeed academically and socially.

Plus, Wake Forest iSTEM also offers language classes in Mandarin and Spanish, giving students valuable cultural insights and helping them build in-demand language skills to prepare for an increasingly global economy.
