Hartwell School
STEAM Curriculum
We encourage creative problem-solving that ignites curiosity and sparks passion to explore the world.
Through our new STEAM program, we integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fundamentals with the Arts to promote creative thinking and ingenuity. Our program challenges students to solve complex questions, challenges and problems by using hands-on, interdisciplinary, project-based methods.
What Does This Mean for Students?
