Middle School Curriculum
STREAM Framwork
"Our school follows a well-structured curriculum that is developed using CPALMS Florida, the official source for standards, along with a unique framework called STREAM. This framework emphasizes the integration of various academic disciplines.
At STREAM, we take pride in supporting, nurturing, inspiring, and challenging our students as they progress from elementary to middle school. Our goal is to prepare them to excel in diverse roles such as artists, writers, entrepreneurs, scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and more.
In addition to learning foundational skills and specific practical knowledge related to each subject, our students also explore how the unit's Essential Questions relate to and enhance the content of their courses. The STREAM approach acknowledges that every learner has their unique starting point and individual journey towards mastering each subject. We firmly believe that even our youngest students possess a wealth of complex concepts about how and why the world works.
