Elementary School
At STEM School Highlands Ranch, we believe the foundation for a lifetime of innovation begins early. Our unique K-12 model encourages students to explore, create, and think critically from a young age.

Innovative Problem-Based Learning
In our elementary classrooms, learning goes beyond traditional curriculum. We immerse students in Problem-Based Learning (PBL), where they engage with real-world issues and collaborate to find creative solutions. Whether they’re developing sustainable solutions for potholes or designing innovative structures, students use technology and teamwork to build critical thinking and communication skills that will serve them throughout life.
By integrating STEM concepts into every subject, we tap into each student’s natural curiosity, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Elementary Enrichment Opportunities
We believe that learning extends beyond the classroom, and our wide range of enrichment programs allow students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and dive deeper into their passions.
- Battle of the Books
- Chess Club
- Craft Club
- LEGO League
