Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. This problem-solving, interdisciplinary approach helps students to think critically and creatively. Students at ARS are exposed to all four topics in their classes, and also have the opportunity to join STEM/Robotics clubs (grades 1-3 and 4-6).

Students K-8 learn about mathematics and science and use technology to learn and complete tasks; engineering also comes into play through both classroom activities and STEM/Robotics Club challenges.
