To serve as a laboratory school examining and developing new methods and materials in curriculum innovation and reform. To foster a broad exchange of ideas and programming through outreach in teacher training, enrichment for students in kindergarten through grade twelve, and networking. To serve as a model for private sector-public education partnerships. Unique Programs Using an integrated or systems approach to science and technology education, our curriculum is built on the belief that students need to learn how to synthesize, integrate, and manage science and technology through practice. Integrating curriculum requires a cross-disciplinary approach in which students and teachers work in teams with varied technologies and expertise to solve problems that highlight and reinforce universal processes and principles.
Students learn how systems are designed, constructed, supported, evaluated, and improved.
Their understanding is reinforced through hands-on experimentation in systems design and development and through exposure to the methods of business and industry. The key is cooperation and open communication among students, faculty, and our business partners.
