What Is STEAM?
More than the sum of its parts
STEAM refers to learning and teaching within the educational disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. The focus of STEAM can be through each individual discipline and through an integrated approach.
In Senior School, students are encouraged to study at least two STEAM courses. Within each discipline, students are given the big picture of the world around them and how the skills learned will create opportunities in their future.
