Powered by GoogleASTEME Academy truly saved my child. Before joining, she was bored in school, unmotivated, and didn’t want to go anymore. It broke our hearts to see her lose her love for learning. From the moment she started at ASTEME, everything changed. She now wakes up excited every morning, eager to share what she’s learning and doing each day. The teachers are incredible—patient, creative, and completely student-centered. The electives are unlike anything we’ve seen before, giving kids the freedom to explore their interests while still being challenged academically. Thank you, ASTEME, for reigniting my child’s curiosity and joy. You’ve made learning fun again!
Love the staff, love the curriculum and my kids love to be there. No place like this one!
My son struggled in public school. Although very smart, he was unmotivated and would shut down under the typical authoritarian / shame based methods or western education. We gave ASTEME a try, and the results have been simply amazing. He has new confidence and for the first time, a passion to learn. He actually likes going to school. My only regret is we didn't try ASTEME earlier. Someone needs to make a movie about this place. It's a school with teachers who love to teach, which inspires the kids to want to learn. “If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.” ~Thoreau
Asteme is such a unique place to learn. The style of teaching is designed to not just strengthen kids understanding STEM, but to give them an appreciation for how Math and Science shape the world around them. The teachers are extremely passionate about what they’re teaching and you can truly tell they enjoy Asteme just as much as the kids. I’ve had the opportunity to both be a student and a teacher and have loved every minute of it.
I can't say enough good things about ASTEME Learning Center. I love the way they teach. Kids don't just learn the material they digest it fully. The best part is my son can't wait to go to class. When it is time to pick them up, none of the kids want to leave. The last few months they stepped up huge when they revamped their entire schedule to accommodate. all the kids effected by the COVID 19 school closures. My son still runs to sign on. It shocks me how much these kids learn and what they're learning. This is a exceptional option for all kids part-time or full-time.
