Our STEM philosophy
Beyond the textbook
We connect what happens in the classroom to the real challenges of our community.
STEM at Holy Cross Lake View is experiential. Students learn by questioning, building, testing and improving, developing the critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication that the 21st century demands.
Our eight science laboratories and the national offices of the Association of Biology Educators on campus give learners access to real equipment and experienced educators, and our students have exhibited alongside university teams at the Oil and Gas Expo.
What students explore
Programmes offered
Robotics
Design, build and program robots, learning mechanics, electronics and code together.
