STEM Innovation Academy High School - Calgary, Alberta

its pretty good. I have a lot of fun at this school because the teachers make things engaging. most of the people are pretty nice and respectful, and there are no "goons" which is a plus. If you go to this school you are very lucky. although this school is great, the learning style is not for everyone. you also need to bring your own laptop.

This is my second year here and I can say that coming to this school is the best decision I have ever made. The staff are great, the school is well managed and the kids are all passionate about learning. As of writing this, all the negative comments about this school were written at the same time by the same group of people. People here don't vape, don't bully and show genuine respect, and of course, a passion for STEM.

There is something for everyone at this school and I would highly recommend it!

Question: does this school allow bringing your phone to school? For example, using it during break time or just keeping it in ur bag

This school is amazing. I honestly don't know what all these bad reviews are talking about because yes, there is kids who vape, however I'd say that compared to my school last year, there is a noticeable improvement in drug use, grades and behaviour. STEM is a welcoming environment that has provided me with support and fuels my interests.

I am currently a student at this school. The teachers here are great and are always available to help you understand. Though the school is majority boys, everyone gets along with each other. The kids and teachers here are some of the nicest people you can find. I went to a public Jr. High where vaping was very prevalent. I have yet to see any kid vape. The schools location is perfect with easy assess to public transport. I am not writing this to say send your kids here, I am writing this to say the reviews of my school are from one perspective and in most cases false.

Every Single Review about kids vaping and mean teachers is false. The teachers treat students like family and will stay after school on their own time to help you study. It is one of the nicest facilities with an inclusive space for everyone. The reviews on vaping and abuse were written by the same group of people at the same time.

I currently go to this school and it is genuinely a great experience. All the teachers are great, caring, and put so much effort into helping us learn. The other students are also respectful and the environment at the school is very positive and inclusive of everyone.

This is a decent school, but most of the kids are antisocial and are hard to make friends with. There is only a small pool of people who are open to friendship. The cafeteria scams people. my friend got charged $3.50 for a can of coke that should be $1.75. Also, the items are overpriced, with poutine being $7 dollars for a very small portion and a roll of mentos is $2.50 when it costs 60 cents at the dollar store across the street. The school also has no gym, and every gym class is held at vecova, which is a 10 minute walk away. During the winter when it is extremely cold, the teachers still make us walk to vecova and freeze when it is -30 degrees out. Most of the teachers at this school are great, and seem to really care about learning and future sucesses, but some teachers, especially options teachers, do not care. For example, Mr Shoucri, who teaches mechatronics, would talk the whole class, and result in kids having exessive homework, in an options class! Also, some teachers mark so much harder on the same curriculum, especially in english and social studies. The school tries to push people in most subjects, which either results in the student trying harder, which is the goal, or the student giving up and coming to the conclusion that they are not cut out for this school. Most of the time, the student will choose the latter. Also, the majority of the future ready speakers are boring, and do not engage the audience. Many people skip school on days where there is a presenter. Overall, this school is alright, but it has flaws that make it more frustrating and unwelcoming to students that do not perform as well at school.
