It's collaborative. It's creative. It's critical thinking. It's all centered on the most vital fields of learning and essential professions needed in the world today and tomorrow.

It’s what educators call STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Step through the door and experience an approach to learning that fuels imaginative thinking, creative problem solving and innovative solutions - just the kinds of skills that will help our students succeed in their education and beyond.

Project Lead the Way (PLTW) students achieve significantly higher scores in reading, mathematics and science, and in some cases, receive college credit.

They earn higher grade point averages as freshmen in college. PLTW alumni are studying engineering and technology in greater numbers than the national average, with a higher retention rate in college engineering, science and related programs than non-PLTW students. As a participant with the nation's leading provider of rigorous and innovative STEM education, our vision is to ignite the spark of ingenuity, creativity and imagination within our students.

PLTW courses are preparing students to become the most innovative and productive in the world.
