School Overview

Nestled in Redmond — the kind of tech-forward city where engineers and innovators are practically your neighbors — Nikola Tesla STEM High School is exactly what you'd expect from a place that calls Microsoft and Nintendo home: rigorous, focused, and built for students who genuinely love solving hard problems. Families drawn to deep project-based learning, coding, engineering, and science will find this school feels less like a traditional high school and more like a launchpad, with academics that consistently rank at the very top of Washington state. It's a natural fit for households where curiosity is the norm and the dinner table conversation probably involves something that hasn't been invented yet.
