Abstract
STEM has become a primary focus of various products, events, practices, programs, and policies. This proliferation in popularity is an international phenomenon, and it is in this context that STEM schools—the focus of this entry—have been established. After contextualizing the propagation of STEM schools by exploring the rationale for the rise of STEM, what follows is an overview of the varieties of STEM schools and models, along with their common features. I review the extant empirical literature, which yields mixed results, and offer recommendations for future research and STEM schools, with equity considerations in mind.
