Components for Student Success

Our hands-on approach to STEM is designed to spark the students’ desire to explore, investigate, examine, and question real-world topics.  Students will work independently and together to discover solutions and expand their knowledge and skills in a fun and interactive learning environment.   Parent involvement is essential for supporting school, class, and student projects, as well as connecting STEM between school and home. 

Additional Academic Services

Instructional methods at Honey Creek Elementary incorporate a myriad of ideas and teaching styles.  Our school mission ensures that teachers will provide all students with varied learning experiences using best practices and research-based instruction.  As a result students are given the opportunity to participate in numerous acceleration, remediation, and enrichment programs.  Some programs available are Outdoor garden, Program Challenge and PM STEM.
