STEM at Lowell
From Pre-Primary School through 8th grade, you will find STEM 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 STEM 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 approach to education and our highly collaborative faculty.
