STEM Learning provides students an opportunity to develop a passion in the areas of "Science, Technology, Engineering and Math." Students will investigate and explore innovative and creative solutions to real world problems. Connecting with experts, collaborating with community partners, and integrating Indigenous perspectives will enhance opportunities for students to engage with the world around them and prepare for future careers.

STEM Learning is integrated into classrooms during the regular school day.  The whole school participates in activities, field experiences and projects throughout the year.
