Welcome from the Provost

Hello, and welcome to Socratic School of STEM.

At SSS, we believe students thrive when learning is both high-expectation and deeply human -when curiosity is taken seriously, and learners are guided to think clearly, work diligently, and grow in character. Our academic program blends rigorous foundational skills with hands-on, project-based STEM learning, so students don’t just memorize concepts - they learn how to investigate, build, communicate, and solve real problems.

As Provost, my focus is simple: academic excellence with personalized guidance. I oversee curriculum, instruction, and academic standards across K–12, ensuring the school day is built around strong teaching, meaningful work cycles, and clear expectations - paired with coaching that meets students where they are and moves them forward. Our goal is that every learner develops mastery in core academics, confidence in STEM, and the habits that make excellence sustainable: focus, responsibility, integrity, and perseverance.

SSS is also a community. We care about who your child becomes - not only what they can do. Through our Seek. Solve. Serve. culture, students learn to pursue truth, create value, and use their gifts to contribute.

Whether you’re exploring enrollment, scheduling a tour, or simply learning more, we’re honored you’re here. We look forward to meeting your family - and partnering with you in a joyful, rigorous, and purpose-driven education.


Warmly,

Kristen Reed, Provost
Socratic School of STEM
