New Comprehensive STREAM Lab: 

STREAM is the acronym used to describe our integrated curriculum and instructional approach for Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Math. Through STREAM students are exposed to multiple content areas within a single lesson.  The content of this innovative learning approach supports the core subjects of Science and Math, and has its own curriculum developed by Pitsco Education. The STREAM content is comprehensive to every grade level.  The class is taught in our custom-built STREAM lab, especially designed for our school by Pitsco Education. Our STREAM approach sparks curiosity in Science, integrates Technology in learning, reflects the values of our Religion, ignites a passion for Engineering, unleashes creativity through Art and design, and fosters the fundamentals of Math. Students learn through inquiry, application, and implementation. With learning activities that include robotics, coding, and experiments, STREAM education is pivotal in realizing students' ideas to life.
