STEM Education

CASLV believes that an educated citizen in the 21st century must have the skills and understanding of participating and work productively in a technologically oriented and global environment. A significant step toward helping students achieve their maximum potential involves providing a rigorous, relevant, and college-preparatory curriculum. While the curriculum concentrates on STEM, it also provides solid instruction in humanities and social sciences to educate the whole child. Advanced courses are offered to spur interest in and prepare all students for STEM-related careers. Science classes employ technology in laboratory explorations and experimentation. Computer simulations assist in expanding the number of lab opportunities in all grade levels. Teachers effectively use the inquiry-based approach to engage students in the learning process while encouraging high levels of interest. Students observations and reflections are the key factors for maximum learning results through hands-on instruction.
