South Side Academy STEAM Program

What is the South Side STEAM Program?

The South Side Academy STEAM Program fosters a rich academic experience which allows students to collaboratively solve problems through hands-on learning. Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math are integrated into instruction, and teachers serve as facilitators who guide students through the process of problem solving using critical thinking and hands-on skills.

What are the benefits of a STEAM Program?

The goal of South Side Academy is to promote a well-rounded educational environment, in which students are not mere participants or spectators of the learning process. Our students are immersed in a robust instructional atmosphere that motivates them to use innovative methods and apply lessons to everyday life. STEAM stimulates exploratory and experiential learning which contributes to increased student engagement, interest and excitement. This approach to teaching and learning prepares students for experiences beyond the classroom. Students develop skills which will benefit them in high school, college and in the workforce. The STEAM Program provides scholars with the foundational skills to create solutions to societal issues and compete globally.
