{{Short description|High school curriculum in the Philippines}}
The '''Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education Program''' (STEM) is a [[science]] and [[mathematics]]-oriented [[curriculum]] devised for [[high school]]s in the [[Philippines]]. The STEM program is offered by specialized high schools, whether public or private, supervised by the [[Department of Education (Philippines)|Department of Education]].

==Comparison between the STEM, the RSHS Union and the PSHS System==
All three types of science high schools in the Philippines (STEM high schools, high schools in the [[Regional Science High School Union]] and the [[Philippine Science High School System]]) offer a curriculum placing importance in mathematics and the sciences, as well as research.
In STEM high schools, transfer students are permitted to enroll provided the student is coming from another STEM high school, from an RSHS or from the PSHS System.
All three types of science high school also maintain different grading systems. STEM high schools and the RSHS Union apply the standard grading system for high schools in the Philippines, while the PSHS System maintains a unique grading system using the 1.00-5.00 scale.
