Self-Assessment Rating: 3

Students work independently and collaboratively in an inquiry-based learning environment that encourages finding creative solutions to authentic and complex problems.

STE(A)M education is the interdisciplinary process of applying Science, Technology, Engineering, (Arts) and Mathematics to rigorous academic concepts as well as real-life lessons. Our campus strives to provide quality, engaging, and rigorous STEAM education to ensure our students are college and career ready.

Pinecrest St. Rose believes that through science, technology, engineering, arts and math education we can create successful students who thrive in the ever changing world. By delivering hands-on, differentiated curriculum, we engage each students' curiosity and wonder resulting in a life-long love for knowledge.

Our teachers are provided professional development opportunities to increase engagement and rigor in the classroom. Coaching Connections is a formal professional development session held the last Wednesday of each month during grade-level prep times in the conference room. These PDs are focused on topics identified as areas of need by teachers and administration. Following these professional development sessions, targeted observations focus on that month's topic.

Pinecrest St. Rose's mission is to coordinate and align STEM efforts for K-12 and higher education, workforce development, and employers to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and STEM workforce development so that Nevada’s workforce can meet the demands of its growing economy.

Because our school has been utilizing and implementing quality STEAM education from its inception, we have and will continue to reach a wide array of students to prepare them for the workforce by connecting lessons to real-life problems and highlighting successful men and women in our community in the STEM field.

Pinecrest St Rose will strategically plan and be comfortable with implementing STE(A)M based projects in cross curricular integration throughout campus. With the help of the passionate staff, preparing our students for future STE(A)M careers, our families and community will understand and support a STE(A)M mindset. We will have learning through mistakes made and overcome with the understanding without failure growth is not possible.
