We are so excited and proud to announce that 12 of our Upper Elementary and Middle School students will be awarded at the Hudson County STEM Showcase Awards Ceremony on Monday, March 25th. These students developed amazing experiments and presentations on everything from “Optimizing Artificial Tissue Generation” to “Exploring the Impact of Combined Sewer Overflows on the Hudson River.” This accomplishment is, in part, due to their amazing STEAM curriculum and teachers because they are given the time and opportunity to take something they are learning about and delve deeply into ways of applying their knowledge.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR CITIZEN SCIENTISTS AND THEIR TEACHERS!

The skills for these projects that tackle real-world issues are taught at each grade level—beginning as early as Kindergarten—through our curriculum infused with science, technology, engineering, art, and math. To learn more about our accredited STEAM program, our theme-based learning approach, or how we foster a love of learning in children aged 2 to eighth Grade, the school welcomes parents to learn more at our upcoming open houses.
