Collaboration
Each grade level engages in STEM and Innovation Labs on a rotating schedule, typically twice per week during specific quarters. Activities are grade-appropriate, building skills progressively from kindergarten through fifth grade. Parents can expect clear learning objectives for each activity, opportunities for students to collaborate and innovate, real-world applications of STEM and innovation principles, evidence of student growth in critical thinking, creativity and teamwork.
