Welcome to Centerra Mirage

  • We are preschool through 8th grade public education that rivals charter schools. Our focus is on S.T.E.M. (science, technology, engineering and math) and building a strong academic foundation for all students because tomorrow's innovators are today's STEM students. We offer full and half-day preschool classes, and a tuition free kindergarten program. CMSA is proud to be the STEM academy of choice, but why make Centerra Mirage your STEM Academy of choice?
