STEM Academy students

For Middle School Students

Returning Students

This information is for STEM Academy Ignite (grades 6-8).

Visit the high school program page for grades 9-12.

Registering for Courses

All returning students must complete an information update form and course request form every semester in order to be enrolled. All students are asked to specify their first two choices of classes. Returning students will be evaluated for prerequisites and placed in a single class in the order that they completed the request form during the priority window. If seats for a student’s first choice of class are filled, they will be placed in their second choice, then subsequently onto the waiting list if their second choice has been filled. Students will only be placed in a second session if space is available after new applications are processed. The returning student priority registration dates are listed on the timeline and course schedule webpage.

The returning student registration link will be available in January 2026.

Note: 8th-grade students moving to 9th grade must apply for the high school STEM Academy program as a new student. However, they will receive priority consideration as a result of their participation in prior APL STEM programs.
