Part-Time Program

Socratic School of STEM Part-Time Program Lab

A Three-Day Program With a Full Sense of Belonging

Socratic School of STEM is excited to offer a three-day, on-campus flexible option for Grades 3–8 learners seeking rigorous academics, hands-on STEM, Socratic discussion, and meaningful school community.

The SSS Part-Time Program is designed for families who want a flexible school rhythm while still giving their child the structure, challenge, friendships, and discovery of an on-campus learning community.

A Flexible Pathway. A Full Sense of Purpose.

At Socratic School of STEM, part-time does not mean disconnected.

The Part-Time Program gives Grades 3–8 learners the opportunity to learn on campus three days each week through a structured academic experience rooted in Socratic discussion, STEM exploration, independent ownership, and character formation.

Learners participate in the rhythm of studio life, build friendships with peers, engage with Guides, and experience the same SSS culture of curiosity, accountability, and purpose.

This program is ideal for families seeking more flexibility than a traditional five-day model while still wanting a serious, community-based academic environment.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Part-Time Program

The Part-Time Program gives scholars more than academic enrichment. It gives them a place to belong.  On campus, scholars share conversations, collaborate with peers, build friendships, participate in studio life, and experience the social rhythm of school. The goal is not simply to attend three days a week. The goal is to become part of a learning community.
