STREAM
Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics
The Holy Cross STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Program's mission is to prepare young women and men for positions of leadership and responsibility in the college majors and careers of their choosing. In accordance with this mission, the 2016-2017 welcomed students who, through successful completion of the program, will go on to graduate from Holy Cross of San Antonio having completed a rigorous program of study that goes beyond the scope of any STEM program available elsewhere. Starting in the 2017-2018 school year, we are proud to say that our entire middle school will be taught in the STREAM framework. Middle school students will learn in a state-of-the-art science laboratories and use innovative technology in their classrooms to enhance the rigor of their learning. Religion and art concepts will be interlaced throughout their day to ensure the mind and spirit are properly nurtured for a holistic STREAM education. The tools and strategies they will learn in their middle school classrooms will only prepare them for the dual credit opportunities that will await them in their high school years -- the goal of which is to graduate them from high school with an associate degree.
