Rationale:

Educate students and employ faculty and staff with a passion for learning and doing things distinctively.

Strategies:

• Evaluate STEAM spaces - classrooms, labs, and maker areas - and schedules to ensure they meet the needs of today’s students.

• Focus on hands-on learning and play beyond the Early Childhood Center, including a focus on entrepreneurship in the upper grades.

• Assemble a cross-divisional research and design team that devises plans to incorporate creativity across the curriculum.

• Develop an enrichment program to bring students to campus (weekends or summers) for STEAM, writing, or arts offerings focused on creative thought and problem solving.

• Continue to modernize classrooms with furniture and technology that sparks creativity.
