Science. Technology. Engineering. Arts. Mathematics.
Welcome to Oakhills STEAM! We will continue to enhance our program by focusing on more explicit integration of the STEAM disciplines. Our end goal is to use a more thematic approach to each trimester that promotes learning through cross-cutting concepts and skills.
Each trimester emphasizes certain aspects of STEAM to advance critical thinking skills, exploratory learning, and connections between their learning, and the real-world. For example, students may experience patterns in the natural world through the integration of art, science, and math; linking colors, textures, physical and chemical properties of materials, geometry, and measurements.
