Socratic School of STEM Celebrates Its Grand Opening in Raleigh
Raleigh has a new school with a different way of learning. Socratic School of STEM, a private school at 1201 Kent Road, welcomed families to its grand opening open house on April 11, 2026, inviting them to explore the campus, try hands on learning experiences and connect with the team.
The school describes itself as a private, boutique K to 12 school built for rigor, learner ownership and real world skill, serving students from Pre-K through Grade 12. Its approach blends Socratic, learner driven inquiry with character formation, leadership and purposeful STEM, guided by a simple motto: Seek. Solve. Serve.
In the early years, students build focus and confidence through hands on work. As they grow, learning becomes project based and interdisciplinary, with students designing, testing, revising and presenting their work. By high school, the school says students deepen mastery and pursue entrepreneurship through portfolio driven projects and mentorship. Even the mascot fits the theme: Socrates the Owl.
Families can inquire about admissions, schedule a tour or start an application on the school website: https://socraticstem.org/ (phone: 919-438-1986).
