STEM Cohort

Concordia Academy’s STEM program in Roseville, MN, provides a significant step toward preparing Christians to take the lead in advanced fields of science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine. The program consists of the following components:

• A rigorous curriculum path that includes the equivalent of 4 years of mathematics and 5 years of science (Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the above courses.)
• An internship or job shadow with a STEM company*
• A senior research project and paper designed for and entered into competition through the Twin Cities Regional Science Fair
• Presentation to a panel of teachers and invited guests of research project results
• A year-end celebration recognizing the graduating cohort

Successful completion of the above results in a STEM transcript certification and Honors Convocation recognition during the candidate’s senior year.

*Past STEM Cohort internship locations include the following:

• Conestoga-Rovers & Associates
