STREAM at SLS
As described by the U.S. Department of Education, “In a world that’s becoming increasingly complex, where success is driven not only by what you know, but by what you can do with what you know, it’s more important than ever for our youth to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to solve tough problems, gather and evaluate evidence, and make sense of information.
At Seton LaSalle, we believe these skills should be fostered and developed in our students. Art and Religion are incorporated into classes and clubs to foster artistic expression and moral reasoning to complement their increasing proficiency in science, technology, engineering, and math. Utilizing a STEM focused, STREAM-influenced approach allows our students to develop skills to be the future leaders of our global communities.
