I absolutely LOVE this school! Mrs Tracey is an amazing teacher and leader! My son attended Little Steam through the pandemic. This gem of a school was a lifesaver for me. I was able to enroll my son while I worked during that time. This is such a unique school that offers more of an individualized learning plan to really focus on the needs of each student. The smaller ratios was what my son needed to help him not get lost in the shuffle and focus. I highly recommend Little Elm Stem Academy!
About a year and a half ago, our family was left with some tough decisions to make once we recognized the public school system was not able to provide our child with the type of learning environment he needed to excel in the classroom and a leader outside the classroom. After a lot of time and research, we took a bet on ourselves as parents to homeschool our child. Fast forward, we gained a lot of respect for educators as homeschooling was a little too much for us to handle. This is where we found the PERFECT fit with Ms. Tracey's microschool. In this fun and energetic environment, our child who has ADHD is able to have the dedicated instructor necessary to keep his mind on track during critical thinking and be a leader amongst his peers. We cannot thank Ms. Tracey enough for pouring her heart and soul into developing her students into respectable young men and women. We are forever grateful for Ms. Tracey and how she has helped our son become the best version of himself within the education world and as a young adult as well. We could not express our gratitude enough for her!
Thank you!

We cannot say enough good things about Little Elm Steam Academy. Ms. Tracey has really created such a special school that is unlike any other. She is so creative, makes learning fun and really works hard to meet the needs of each individual student, right where they’re at. Our son has grown and learned so much this past year and continues to thrive. We owe so much of that to Ms. Tracey’s hard work and dedication. We feel so incredibly blessed to have found Little Elm STEAM Academy.
