Central STREAM Academy: Igniting Potential Through Innovation & Partnerships

Welcome to Central STREAM Academy, a leading theme-based school and the first specialized elementary lab within the Allentown School District. Through a unique partnership with the Da Vinci Science Center, we provide a unique, hands-on educational environment designed to spark curiosity, ignite the full potential of every student from their very first day of school and immerse them in real-world collaboration opportunities.

Our Mission for Authentic Learning:  Aligned with the Allentown School District’s "Lighting the Way 2030" Strategic Plan, our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where high expectations meet innovative teaching. We serve as a hub for authentic, hands-on, inquiry-based learning, fostering a joyful culture of reading and deep-seated curiosity.

What is the STREAM Framework?


At Central, we go beyond traditional learning by integrating six core disciplines into a unified, hands-on curriculum

  • Science
  • Technology
  • Reading
  • Engineering
  • Arts
  • Mathematics

By focusing on and increasing access to these areas, we ensure our students are not just learning facts, but are developing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for success in a rapidly changing world.
