STREAM

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math has been driven by the business community to prepare a more agile, educated workforce for our country's future. However, in recent years, it has been increasingly evident that our economy is truly driven by innovation, creativity and communication nurtured through the "Arts" is an essential component to innovation and worthy of emphasis as well.  Rooted in our faith as Catholic schools, "Religion" is woven throughout all subjects and completes the picture for a holistic approach to education.  STREAM schools, therefore, are the necessary evolution of STEM Schools in Buffalo, using an interdisciplinary approach to bridge subject areas.  It is important to note that that STREAM Education is not a new curriculum, but a philosophical framework for delivering excellence in Catholic education for 21st century
