STEAM

We seize opportunities to advance the spirit of innovation in all of our STEAMgineers. From exploring levers and pulleys in Pre-Primary School to robotics challenges in 8th grade, students have opportunities at every level to apply their skills and understanding in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.

STEAM at Lowell

From Pre-Primary School through 8th grade, you will find STEAM integration at all levels. Students engage in inquiry or problem-based units that successfully build a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the experimental design process. Developing skills to communicate, question, research, analyze, and review helps our students prepare for their future.

Lowell’s STEAM integration is defined by an exceptional teaching staff, a rigorous program, and an innovative vision that prepares students for our interconnected and global world. The commitment to this integration is a natural fit with our progressive education approach and highly collaborative faculty.
