The Talent Within

As a STEAM school, we emphasize each of the five elements of STEAM and are proud of how our curriculum has evolved and how we have led other elementary and middle schools to embrace curriculum that engages students’ heads and hands simultaneously. 

The new Makerspaces and Maintenance Facility bring design thinking to life for students as they create meaningful interdisciplinary projects. In these two new classrooms, students, equipped with all the tools needed for creating and tinkering, learn the process of imagining, creating, evaluating, and trying again. 

Throughout our 70-year history, all campus structures have been constructed with funds beyond tuition. Donations raised for the Student Makerspaces and Engineering facility during the Talent Within Comprehensive Campaign total $1,900,000 for construction, outfitting, and architectural fees. Prior to that and thanks to generous donors, Blatchford Learning Center was erected in 1998, and our last campaign saw the construction of our parking lot, 60th Anniversary Recreation Center, and Burt Family Green.
