STREAM

STEM + Religion + the Arts = STREAM

 

STREAM is a cross-curricular and project-based approach to teaching & learning that uses Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics to build such 21st-century skills as inquiry, creativity, communication, critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration.  

 

Our teachers work collaboratively to develop inquiry-based STREAM projects at each grade level.  The projects aim to include content from multiple subjects and ask students to solve real-world problems.  This cross-curricular approach allows students to see how subjects are connected across the curriculum which helps to build problem solving and critical thinking skills, both of which are at the heart of 21st-century learning.

In addition to these projects, students are given the opportunity to participate in various enrichment programs such as robotics, coding, and digital media.  They also take field trips and complete service projects related to their STREAM projects.  This experiential approach to learning also helps to build students' problem solving and critical thinking skills, while giving them the opportunity to make connections between the classroom and the real world.
