STEM PROGRAM
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are essential subjects in which students gain critical knowledge in preparation for high school and college. St. Edward students are provided daily opportunities in the classrooms to increase their knowledge and skills in these areas. STEM is an integral part of our curriculum.
St. Edward students from all grade levels participate in the annual STEM Fair. Students are encouraged to explore and design projects from a wide range of subject areas. This fair is designed to not only promote student interest in science, technology engineering and math, but also to hone their skills in conducting scientific research and producing high quality presentations.
To assist students in their research efforts, St. Edward School has three computer labs which house between 16 and 24 computers per lab. Multiple labs allow each classroom sufficient daily/weekly access for the purpose of research and test-taking. St. Edward has digital curriculum in Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Students access online books to do their work both in school and at home.
In addition, students use these labs to take MAP tests three times a year. Primary grade students are taught computer skills such as Keyboard usage, MS Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, and other computer skills. The 8th grade students use Google Sketch app to design models and further their understanding of computer-assisted design.
