Neil Armstrong Academy

Granite's new STEM school is a Pre-K through 6th grade elementary being built in the Highbury area of West Valley (5194 West Highbury Parkway) and will be devoted to the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as the platform for instruction in the Utah Core Standards. Rigorous math and science curriculum content will be practically applied to the design and construction of machines, devices, and other manufactured things representative of engineering and other career fields. Students at all grade levels will have access to technology and mobile devices that will enable them to individualize and demonstrate their learning through a variety of modalities. They will participate in group projects, simulations, and such things as video gaming rooted in problem-based learning experiences and will focus on developing the ability to think critically and solve complex problems. Students will also enjoy the exposure to physical and arts education common to all granite School District elementary schools.
