STEM

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math

STEM at Ivy is grounded in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM), but are more than just these subjects independently.

Ivy Stockwell is a place where kids think big, learning is active and hands-on, and where their understandings are transdisciplinary.

Students cross the boundaries of different subjects to prepare students for thinking out-of-the-box.

What about all the other fun and exciting things that kids learn in elementary school? Do you have those?

Yes we do!

STEM isn’t only about doing science experiments or solving mathematical problems.  The innovators and creators of tomorrow will need many skills to be successful.

Our school has art, music, and PE specials, social studies, recess time, and after-school enrichment to build whole and healthy people.
