Flat Rock Middle School
The STEAM/CFC Program represents a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Fine Arts and Mathematics programs and curriculum that provide students with an opportunity to learn more about careers in these fields. Students who participate in the STEAM Program participate in problem and project based learning while gaining career exposure through unique guest speakers and field trips.
The Flat Rock Middle School STEAM program engages all students through collaboration, rigorous problem-solving, innovations and authentic learning experiences. It is our mission to empower students to become a community of critical thinkers who make connections across disciplines and subject areas.
Our vision at Flat Rock Middle School is to use project-based learning and STEAM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) to engage students in relevant, meaningful, and impactful learning experiences. This is being accomplished through an innovative pilot program known as the Community for Creativity (CFC), which emphasizes creative exploration, collaboration, and relevant connections.
