Thank you so much for your interest in ASTEME Academy! As you explore our Admissions process, you’ll learn about what makes ASTEME one of the most dynamic learning environments on the Westside. We’re dedicated to providing an education that not only challenges students academically but also nurtures their personal growth, creativity, and social-emotional development.

At ASTEME, education goes far beyond traditional models. Our projects-based curriculum engages students with hands-on, experiential learning. The students are immersed in real-world challenges that inspire them to think critically, collaborate, and innovate to prepare them for the future. From coding and robotics to environmental science and engineering projects, ASTEME students are always encouraged to explore and push boundaries.

What sets us apart is our commitment to nurturing the whole child. We emphasize social-emotional learning as much as academics, helping our students develop the confidence, compassion, and resilience they need to thrive in today’s world. Our restorative justice approach fosters a supportive, kind, and inclusive community where students feel empowered to learn and grow.

ASTEME is also deeply committed to equity and diversity. With over 40% of our students identifying as students of color and 60% of families receiving scholarships, we strive to create an inclusive environment that reflects the diversity of the world around us. We believe that every child, regardless of their background, deserves access to a high-quality education, and we keep our tuition significantly lower to ensure that ASTEME remains accessible to a broad range of families.

As you explore our admissions page, you’ll find details about our innovative programs, our commitment to equity, and the vibrant, supportive community we’ve built. We invite you to discover how ASTEME is transforming education and why it could be the perfect fit for your family.

Warm regards,
ASTEME Admissions Team
