AZ STEAM Academy
7115 South Thorneydale Lane, Hereford, Arizona 85615
Inspired by the journey of my family and the desire to support neurodivergent students, I founded AZ STEAM Academy. As you look to find a microschool that meets your family’s needs, we encourage you to reach out to us!
Over six months, I meticulously developed a framework for experiential, personalized, mastery-based learning. Central to this approach is empowering students to advocate for themselves, cultivate supportive relationships, and realize their full potential.
Microschool Founder
My name is Angele, and I am a dedicated educator with a passion for fostering inclusive learning environments. As a gifted individual diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, I understand the importance of personalized education and support systems.
Throughout my academic journey, I encountered challenges with traditional schooling dynamics but remained steadfast in my love for learning. Despite these obstacles, I achieved an AA Degree and earned several credits, with honors, toward a BA in Psychology at WNMU.
Upon relocating to Hereford with my two sons, I recognized the need for educational opportunities tailored to their unique learning styles. Embracing an active role in their education, I guided them towards a focus on technology, culminating in notable success in the National Cyber Patriots Competition. Serving as coach for the 4-H Middle School CP team, we proudly secured the 3rd Place State Award for Arizona. Subsequently, coaching an independent team comprised of my sons, we achieved the Cyber Patriot 1st Place State Award for Arizona.
My commitment to education is born of a growth mindset. I previously served as an AmeriCorps intern with EarthCare, teaching sustainability fundamentals in public and private schools. Additionally, I obtained a Modern Classrooms instructional certificate and am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Educational Psychology at UofA Online, with plans for further graduate studies.
I am dedicated to creating transformative educational experiences and am excited to continue making a positive impact in the lives of students.
