Who We Serve:
Fort Worth STEAM Academy is built on a simple belief: every child deserves an exceptional education.
Based on current enrollment data, we anticipate:
90% of students will come from low-income households
More than 85% will be considered “at-risk” of dropping out
Roughly 40% will be English language learners
We’re planning to open in Central East Fort Worth, so all families in this area can access a high-quality school—without auditions, fees, or entrance exams.
What We Do:
Fort Worth STEAM Academy is a tuition-free public charter middle school opening in August 2026. Located in Central East Fort Worth, we will be open to all students—no entrance exams or auditions.
Our academic model was designed in close partnership with local families and community leaders to deliver something better. At the heart of our school are three key pillars:
A Joyful Culture of High Expectations: We create a safe, structured, and encouraging environment—where students are held to high standards and recognized for their effort and character.
Rigorous STEAM Education: Students build a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math—preparing them to excel in high school and future careers.
Individualized Learning: Every child receives targeted support and meaningful challenge—because we believe success should be personal and every student deserves the opportunity to grow.
Our BIG Goals:
1. All students are promoted from Fort Worth STEAM Academy, meeting or exceeding grade-level standards and enrolling in Fort Worth ISD High Schools of Choice.
2. All students receive robust STEAM career exposure showcasing the wide variety of post-secondary options available to them.
Reasons to Support:
Excellent Education for All Students: We believe every student deserves a strong academic foundation—one that leads to a future of opportunity, responsibility, and purpose. Your support helps us deliver on that promise with the high-quality instruction, structure, and support our students need to succeed.
Workforce Readiness: Meaningful STEAM exposure and rigorous instruction in middle school are critical to sparking students’ interest and building the skills they need to pursue advanced STEAM courses in high school and succeed in these growing, well-paying fields. By investing now, you help open doors to careers that will empower our students—and strengthen our community’s future.
Our mission is to prepare all middle school students for success in high school, college, and career through a STEAM focused education, a joyful culture of high expectations, and robust community partnerships.
As we prepare to open Fort Worth STEAM Academy in August 2026, one of our top priorities is recruiting our inaugural 6th-grade students. These trailblazing young learners won’t just receive a high-quality STEAM education—they’ll help shape the culture and traditions that will define our school for years to come.
We believe the best way to inspire families is through direct experience. That’s why we’re committed to offering free, hands-on STEAM programming at local community centers, the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, and other trusted partners. These pop-up events give students and families an exciting preview of what Fort Worth STEAM Academy will offer.
Through this free programming, we are:
✅ Refining Our Academic Model — Bringing learning to life with engaging, hands-on STEAM activities
✅ Building Community Partnerships — Connecting with families to shape a shared vision for the future
