K-8 STEM
Built into the curriculum
Students build, code and create
STEM runs through our K-8 curriculum. Students build their own lava lamps, write code, develop apps for iPhone and Android, create websites about Jewish values, and visit local centers of technology and innovation.
For today's students, technology isn't a separate subject. It's a tool for reaching their learning goals, and it's built into classroom work with devices available throughout the building.
