Gowan Science Academy
At Gowan Science Academy, we provide a challenging, inquiry-based Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum designed to maximize each student’s potential and help them thrive in a global community. Our fast-paced, rigorous program serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade and is open to all Yuma County residents.

We believe parent participation is essential to student success and strongly encourage active involvement from every family.

 
Learning Happens Everywhere
We’ve worked hard to create an environment that offers students opportunities to learn in ways that feel natural and engaging. While we have traditional classrooms, we often “break the mold” and encourage learning to happen anywhere curiosity arises.

 
Exploring Our Community
Meaningful, real-world learning extends beyond the classroom. Each grade level participates in at least one field trip per quarter, giving students the chance to connect classroom lessons to hands-on experiences in our community and beyond.

Some examples include:

Wetland Parks – studying native insects
Harrison Farms – learning how vegetables are grown locally
Kartchner Caverns (Benson, AZ) – exploring land formations
Biosphere 2 (Tucson, AZ) – studying biomes
…and many more!
 
School Visits and Tours
Parents of current and prospective students are welcome to visit, tour, and observe our classrooms. All visitors must follow the school’s procedures for scheduling visits, tours, or observations. For the health and safety of our students and staff, the District may limit or discontinue visits if necessary.
