What is STEM Education? STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.

Awesome News! I just received a phone call from Sister Edwards (Head of Curriculum for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia). She informed me we are picked to be part of a new AOP STEM (Science/Technology/Engineering/Math) Pilot Program. Teacher training, flexible scheduling, etc.. Only two Catholic schools in Bucks County will have it. and St Mike's will be one of them! I just officially accepted the new STEM Pilot Program. More info coming. God's light, Mr. "D".

SMA New Connelly Grant (Worth several thousand dollars!) Awesome news!!! I was just informed today that SMA School won a Music Residency Connelly Grant (5th Grade) worth several thousand dollars! First a music assembly will be held with the entire school. A music instructor will then come to St. Mikes for 10 weeks to provide a class hands on experience teaching a music genre. Students will then present their music at a SMA school assembly at the end of the residency! Another great addition to our SMA Programs! God's joy! Mr. "D".
