STEAM is at the Top of the List for Young Learners Legacy Christian Academy

When it comes to choosing an educational home for their child, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) is at the top of most in-the-know parents’ “want” list for a big reason – it’s an educational mindset that has been shown to help children develop vital skills they’ll need for success in school – and life.
Legacy Christian Academy, a non-denominational Christian academy, puts a unique emphasis on STEAM learning. Shares Associate Head of School for Activities and Spiritual Life Garrick Moss: “Very few schools invest so much in the technology, specialized instructors, curriculum and programming for STEAM while also providing an understanding of God’s creations through a Christian paradigm. Parents don’t have to choose between their belief system and what’s best for their child academically. That’s just one more thing that makes Legacy special!”
Here’s how STEAM breaks down at Legacy:
Science: Observing patterns, building hypotheses and testing theories are how children learn to explain what they see and experience. These skills aren’t reserved for the Science Lab at Legacy, but are present in language arts, history and other subjects, too.
Technology: Early Legacy learners build and use simple tools like levers, ramps and pulleys to observe and experience cause-and-effect reasoning.
Engineering: Third graders start using the Academy’s 3D printers, but younger students design, build and craft, too, developing hand/eye coordination, spatial awareness and an understanding of how and why things “work.”
Art: Sensory exploration ignites creativity, cognitive development and self-esteem. Legacy students benefit from art instructors who are experts in their field.
Mathematics: Discovering how numbers, operations, volume, distance, shapes, sequences and sizes inform Legacy learners’ understanding of the world around them is key to being able to process more complex situations and equations later.
