Our Signature STEAM Program

- Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Technology
  
  St. Martin of Tours is the only STEM Network Partner School in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Being a partner of the larger STEM Network means that our school receives access to professional STEM resources in a supportive and dynamic STEM community. In addition, our principal, teachers, and staff engage in STEM-specific professional development within a collaborative network of STEM schools.
  We believe STEAM education is important because it:
  Equips students with the confidence and resilience to focus on solutions rather than problems or uncertainty
  Strengthens skills, knowledge, and applications related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
  Utilizes everyday life and real-world applications to promote deeper learning
  Fosters soft skills such as creativity, innovation, collaboration, and problem-solving
  Helps students excel with the Arts by providing them with design tools to better understand how to use space and structure
  Employs the use of digital literacy knowledge and skills
  Enhances possibilities in an exponentially
  St. Martin of Tours is blessed to have both a Science Lab and a STEAM Innovation Lab. One of SMT’s goals is to prepare the next generation to contribute in all areas of the technological workforce as educators, scientists, graphic artists, mathematicians, and engineers. Logic and critical thinking skills are incorporated into daily instruction, and student exploration is encouraged in both lab classes and our middle school science fair program. SMT students have an exceptional record of achievement at both the county and state levels, winning at the national, state, and county levels. Our hands-on curriculum incorporates Lego robotics, probe-ware, drones, etc. into exciting inquiry-based lessons guaranteed to spark the curiosity of all students.
  At SMT, we use technology as a powerful tool to enhance student achievement and engagement. Classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and a dedicated iPad cart. A state-of-the-art keyboard lab enhances music instruction. In addition, the school’s fully equipped computer lab with its 35 iMac computers allows teachers to give direct instruction in skills such as coding and to use the lab in other curricular areas.
