STEAMI Learning Institute


STEAMI Learning Institute is a full-time academic institution that is dedicated to developing children of African descent into exceptional, academically challenged, driven, and disciplined human beings. Our vision is to produce leaders and problem solvers who will make a significant impact in the world; they will become well-developed from a holistic standpoint.


Every person, working to replicate themselves progressively, positively, and intergenerationally, needs guidelines, affirmations as to why they are and what they are supposed to be, considering, leaving, and practicing at each life stage to develop and maintain the quality of character their ancestors possessed

STEAMI Learning Institute operates on a 45-week school year calendar. The monthly tuition fee is $700 per child ($1,300 for two children; $1,950 for three children).
