Delphi Academy of Santa Monica Announces STEAM Program

    SANTA MONICA, CA, August 15, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- According to STEAMedu.com, STEAM is defined as "Science & Technology, interpreted through Engineering & the Arts, all based in Mathematical elements."

"Being a proficiency-based school, the STEAM program dovetails perfectly with our approach," says school Head, Ellen Garrison. She says the STEAM framework is fully customizable for all types of students and their different ways and speeds of learning, which is why Garrison is excited to be including it in their curriculum this year.

She's not alone. Hundreds, if not thousands, of both private, public and charter schools all over the world are jumping on the STEAM bandwagon, and this methodology is proving to have significant positive effects with students. STEAM is being incorporated with standardized tests so it allows for deeper understanding and more practical application. It also provides students with more opportunities for recall when they take the required tests.

"The STEAM approach is similar to Delphi Academy of Santa Monica's approach to learning contextually," says Garrison. "So it gives students a framework to show them where subjects might overlap--as well as teaching them how different subjects relate to each other in both school and real life, which we're very excited about."
