    STEAM Education

    We provide dedicated time and space for our youngest students to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). They observe, wonder, question, make theories, and then test and modify them. Our Wonder Lab, led by a dedicated Pre-Primary STEAM teacher, promotes integrated exploration.
