What Makes Us Different?
As we enter the end of the school year, we ask the question, What makes us different? Taking time to reflect on the school year, are we who we say we are?
On our website, we state, “The Hillcrest STEAM Academy will give the students the opportunity to learn through a project based learning (PBL) approach with a focus on (S)cience, (T)echnology, (E)ngineering, (A)rts, and (M)athematics. PBL gives students the opportunity to have hands on learning with real world problems making their learning meaningful and relevant. Through this process, students will be given a variety of questions to solve and work together with their peers to develop possible solutions. PBL enables students to develop strong critical thinking skills and fosters student growth with their interpersonal skills.”
The mission of Hillcrest STEAM Academy, a leader of STEAM innovation, is to ensure that all students flourish as individuals of character and advocates of their own learning through the school community distinguished by
a culture of independence and collaboration
a global outlook based on a foundation of character
a focus on problem solving and critical thinking
real world experiences with integration throughout all subjects.
Take time over the next 7 weeks to really show who we are and end the year fully engaged in STEAM. We have the most amazing staff and students here at Hillcrest and we want to showcase all of the many talents within our school! We ask that as you are doing these projects, you let us know so we are able to come take pictures or small videos allowing us to flood social media with the great things going on at Hillcrest!
Stakeholder Survey
All certified teachers are required to take the stakeholder’s survey. This will be a part of our checkout this year. Please take time to complete this survey as we use the information for future planning!
