How do we get kids to love learning and love going to school every day? This is a growing problem in our society today. Kids are experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression at rapidly growing rates. Psychology Today (Grey, May 2018) indicated “a continuous increase in the rate of psychiatric emergencies during school weeks, but not during vacation weeks over the four year period of the study”.
The reasons vary from academic pressures, peer pressures, disinterest, and plain boredom. At Lake Travis STEM Academy we make learning fun by creating real world curriculum and experiences to provide students with engaging, supportive, and authentic lessons/projects.
