Our online classrooms offer a safe and stimulating environment which allows all our students to develop physically, socially, emotionally, creatively, physically and academically. The school was founded by Phelisa Ricketts as a result of her passion for STEM Education and a need for a full-time online school which provides educational development for students across Jamaica. We aim to promote the strengths and talents of all our students. The primary focus of our school is to inculcate a passion for STEM Education in our students. We provide educational development and classes in all subject areas. All our classes take on a STEM approach. It is our mandate that our lessons must be relevant to real world problems and real-life situations. We ensure that students understand the relevance of each subject and each topic to their life. At Western STEM Academy, class sizes are very small to focus on the learning needs and learning styles of all our learners. We believe that every child has a unique learning style and as a result, we provide opportunities for our visual, auditory, tactile, verbal and logical learners. Our classes are very engaging and interactive. It is our mission to foster a positive learning environment for all our learners.
