STEAM education allows our students to become better observers, collaborators, problem-solvers and problem-finders - all critical life skills for success in today's world.
Academics
Our highly-trained teachers serve as guides and mentors, providing a safe, welcoming community where students are challenged to explore their world using hands-on learning.
Our innovative curriculum is project-based and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) focused. STEAM-infused project-based learning allows our students to practice doing what they're learning across all core classes. Students may find themselves making a stop-motion animation of a plant's life cycle, coding a rover to explore uninhabitable areas of the rain forest, or developing a new casting system to heal broken bones.
