STEAM at Barrack
Following the standard set by Maimonides in the 11th century, the disciplines of science and technology provide an essential cornerstone to Jewish education.
At Barrack, we integrate science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) into holistic learning that fosters critical thinking skills. Our hands-on approach focuses on the importance of asking questions and developing new ways to discover the answers.
Science, math, technology, and art teachers work together to plan STEAM-based lessons for their students, with a series of electives offered to facilitate integration throughout all grade levels. Lesson topics range from engineering, design, and coding to robotics and three-dimensional ceramic work.
Our STEAM Institute is a sophisticated, project-based learning program where students engage in design thinking and hands-on learning to encourage students to be innovative , collaborate with others, take risks, and solve problems.
