Andrea Short, Principal [1]
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. It is an interdisciplinary, cross-curriculum, real-world process of teaching where core subjects are interwoven, not taught in isolation, much like what students will encounter in this world of global diversity. Rigorous, core curriculum is applied through STEAM-focused projects/activities and aligned to board adopted curriculum, College and Career Readiness Standards [2]
