Preparing Students to Meet 21st Century Challenges

An Interdisciplinary Approach to Learning

Westcliff’s STEAM program offers an innovative curriculum focused on relevant learning that better prepares this next generation to excel in their chosen field. Both public and private sectors report that today’s graduates don’t adequately possess the unique set of skills needed to be successful in the 21st century.

Our program fills in these gaps valuing science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics equally. Students will develop a deep understanding of concepts, collaborative reasoning, persuasive skills, and computational thinking more closely aligned with a collegiate setting.

By cultivating a sense of ingenuity, creativity, and confidence, our students learn to take risks by investing in curiosity and adapting their knowledge to solve real-world issues. Through our STEAM program, we strive to provide students with the necessary tools to engineer imaginative solutions, go confidently into future pursuits, and achieve infinite possibilities as ethical leaders.
