Our mission is to prepare students for success in the global community as lifelong learners. ATEMS will foster an environment focused on innovative science, technology, engineering and mathematics curriculum. Working independently and in teams, students will complete rigorous, real-world assignments and projects that prepare them for post-secondary ambitions.

The Academy of Technology, Engineering, Math, & Science's vision is to provide meaningful opportunities in a learning community that encourages shared decision making, ethical relationships and service to others through the use of 21st century skills and technology.

Welcome to the Academy of Technology, Engineering, Math, & Science. As a 21st century school, ATEMS embraces rigor in both traditional core learning areas and in skills typically not taught as a part of a traditional curriculum. The Academy is a unique school in Abilene ISD and will help revolutionize the educational experience of high school students across the Big Country. The overall goal of ATEMS is not only to increase student achievement in math and science, but also to inspire students by exposing them to rigorous “real world” problems and issues using research-based, proven curriculum. The basis for the Academy curriculum will be Project-Based Learning (PBL) designed by the New Tech Network in conjunction with Project Lead The Way (PLTW), a nationally recognized curriculum for engineering. In order to support a collaborative and project-based learning environment, ATEMS made some fundamental changes in the way school operates. Our teachers are “facilitators” because they assist learners through projects but are not the sole source of information. In addition, the campus is technology-rich, mimicking the workplace where all participants have access to the technological tools they need to complete their work. The campus is fully wireless with a 1:1 computer ratio for all students and facilitators. When projects are completed, external evaluators from a variety of business and education fields come to grade student presentations and final products. All students at the Academy will complete four years of math and science and meet all state requirements for the recommended graduation plan. Upon high school graduation from ATEMS, students will have had the opportunity to accrue at least 30 college hours and participate in capstone or internships with local businesses.

Would you like your student to graduate from high school with a thorough preparation for college and with college credits already earned? Would you like your student to be able to confidently communicate in professional situations? Do you think proficiency in a wide variety of technology applications would be a valuable skill to acquire?
If you answered yes to the above questions, then the new Academy of Technology, Engineering, Math & Science is the place for your child. In partnership with higher education institutions, and multiple business and community organizations, the Academy will prepare your child for the 21st century.
