Welcome New Students!

Welcome Cleveland STEM High School Freshman and New Students

Please explore this page as well as the Incoming Students page for more information about events and opportunities for students and families. Please contact the Counseling Center with any questions.

We are so excited to welcome our new students this fall! We have some important information we want to share with families regarding class registration.

Below you will find information about student pathway classes and how students can register for their classes for the 2025-26 school year. Students will only be selecting their elective classes for next year. Please read the online instructions carefully. Students will be making their pathway selection. This is a very important decision, because your student will be taking classes related to their choice for their 9th -11th grade years while they are at Cleveland. Below is a brief description of the pathways so you and your student can make an informed decision. For more information, please visit our the Course Registration Handbook.

• School of Biomedical and Life Sciences (SOLS): This pathway allows students to explore topics in Life Sciences, such as Applied Molecular Biology (9th), Physiology (10th), Biomedical Science (11th) and UW Biology 100 (12th).
• School of Engineering and Design (SOED): This pathway allows students to explore topics in Engineering, such as Engineering Design and Development 1 & 2 (9th), Intro to Engineering 1 & 2 (10th) and Principles of Engineering 1 & 2 (11th).
