  3. Encourage the students to think critically as they work to solve problems, STEM activities require students to go through trial and error to determine what methods work best.
  4. Encourages independent exploration of subject matter.
  5. Teaches collaboration by encouraging children to work in groups to find the best solution, communicate their ideas, and respect each other opinions.
  6. Builds Resilience by teaching children to develop a healthier relationship with failure and instead reframes it as a learning opportunity.

Classrooms That Inspire Learning

Classroom 1
Classroom 2
Classroom 3

At St. Luke Academy we believe that the environment is the key to creating a joyful place for learning and we put a great deal of thought and care into creating those joyful places. Our classrooms consider not only what children need in a space, but how they will use it. We know our school will form an integral part of a child’s earliest learning and with that in mind, we carefully curate high-quality materials for every classroom to create beautiful environments with rich, open-ended experiences that nurture development and inspire learning.
