STEM to STREAM:  Diocese of Buffalo Chooses Pilot Schools

We are proud to be  a STREAM pilot school by the Diocese of Buffalo Department of Catholic Education. The initials in STREAM refer to the subject areas of Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts and Math. STREAM Education uses an interdisciplinary approach to bridge subject areas. It is not a new curriculum, but a philosophical framework for delivering excellence in education for 21st century learners.   We endeavor to create holistic, real world learning experiences, so our students can put their knowledge to use developing ideas and solving problems.

Danica McKellar said, "mathematics itself is truly a beautiful art form. It's structures and patterns, and that's what we love."  At SSPP we expose students to the art of math through geometric string art, tessellations, engineering principals, design composition, beading, poetic rhythm and rhyme scheme, music composition and more.   

Technology

Religion
