Evolution of STEM to STEAM to STREAM. Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, Math

Advancing your future today!

Evolution does not occur solely in nature. Academic programs can and must evolve as well. That is why Holy Angels is thrilled to announce our STEM program’s evolution from four disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) to five (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math), and now to six (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, Math).

Growth and Progress

Holy Angels has long offered our students a program rich in the sciences and mathematics that prepared them for college majors and careers in STEM fields, teaching them to think critically and be passionate about their learning. Our history of success is documented on our STEM page.

However, to truly be innovative, to help advance the world’s knowledge, students also need creativity, a vibrant imagination and the liberating feeling of no boundaries.

To make a lasting difference in the world, to contribute to the welfare of the common good, artistic vision and technical know-how need to be embedded in a value laden curriculum that will foster ethical judgment, moral decision making and the kind of integrity that weds knowledge to social justice.

Thus, STREAM represents the fullest interpretation of a STEM program, one that will enrich the minds and hearts of all the Holy Angels students who pursue these courses.

Changing the world today

Our most recent graduates are already incorporating their love of learning with innovative ideas to produce real change. Graduates like Ivetty who plans to combine Chemical Engineering and a law degree at Yale University in the hope that there will be swift reaction to environmental disasters in poor neighborhoods. Or Lydon who will use her Engineering degree from Princeton to bring alternative energy to impoverished areas of South America.

the study of heavy metal contamination at the Meadowlands
workshop opportunities with colleges and philanthropic organizations
career education through first hand experiences with alumnae and others in healthcare careers
a chance to create interdisciplinary projects with 3D printing and Project Greenhouse

Student recognition will be accorded through induction into one or all of our Honor Societies in Science, Art, and Mathematics.
