K-8 FARMINGTON STEAM ACADEMY

Last year, the Board of Education approved the creation of a K-8 STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) school to be housed in the former Dunckel Middle School site located at 32800 W. 12 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills. STEAM is a philosophy, not a specific program.

It is an integrated approach to learning:

• S: Science Standards and Social SCIENCES
• T: Incorporation of TECHNOLOGY
• E: Principles of ENGINEERING and Design
• A: English Language and Performing/Visual ARTS
• M: Application of MATHEMATICS
