The article reveals content-procedural foundations of STEM education in the USA. On the basis of using a number of theoretical research methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison) the essence of the studied phenomenon was revealed. The types of high schools, that provide educational services in the field of STEM, are characterized, namely: selective schools, which admit gifted students who have outstanding abilities in the field of STEM; inclusive schools that serve students from all backgrounds, targeting lowincome youth, minorities and other traditionally under-represented categories of student youth; STEM-Focused Career and Technical Education (CTE) Schools, which help a wide range of high school students gain insight into the practical application of knowledge in STEM disciplines and prepare for work in the field of STEM.
