Mission and Vision |
Innovation is at the heart of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields. It is our belief that in the 21st century, Art + Design are fundamental to the STEM academic program and will be a transformative force in higher education and the world economy.
Our vision includes adding Art & Design to the center of STEM, transforming it into STEAM. Restoring and integrating the arts into a rigorous academic program will give students in higher education a competitive advantage. Employers in the 21st century will seek to hire candidates who can drive innovation with expertise in design and critical thinking. All students in the Olive Vista STEAM Magnet will participate in a rigorous academic program led by a select team of trained and certified teachers, most of whom are National Board Certified. The Olive Vista STEAM Magnet provides increased personalization and attention to individual student needs as they master the Common Core State Standards. Students will be both challenged and supported as they acquire the necessary skills to become successful in high school, college, and career. |
