The purpose of creating the application is to provide applicants with a clear and consistent delineation of the Parma City School District’s STEM Learning philosophy and program.

The digital application provides a streamlined process for families as well as ease of use, timestamped submissions, and access.  You will receive an email if accepted.

For students applying for STEM Project-Based Learning in grades K-8, applications will be accepted based on space available. Students MUST be registered in the Parma City School District to be accepted into STEM.

All new students to the STEM Project-Based Learning program MUST complete the online application and teacher recommendation. Applications will be reviewed by a committee of STEM Coaches, building administrators and the department of curriculum and instruction.

    STEM applications for Grades 1 - 8 MUST have a teacher's recommendation. If you do not provide a teacher's email, your application WILL NOT be processed. All teacher emails can be found under 'Contact Us - Staff Directory'.
