STEAM

WELCOME TO OUR STEAM PROGRAM!​

At OCA, we believe that faith and innovation go hand in hand. Our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) program is designed to inspire creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills while nurturing a Christ-centered perspective on learning. 

​

WHAT IS STEAM?

STEAM education integrates science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics to equip students with the skills needed for the modern world. Through hands-on learning, collaboration, and real-world applications, students develop a DEEP understanding of how these disciplines work together to shape the future. 

​

OUR FAITH-BASED APPROACH

As a faith-based school, we view STEAM as an opportunity to explore God's creation, discover His order in the universe, and use our talents to serve others. Our curriculum encourages students to approach innovation with integrity, purpose, and a heart for stewardship. 

​

WHAT STUDENTS EXPERIENCE IN OUR STEAM PROGRAM

  • Interactive Science Experiments - Exploring God's design in nature through inquiry-based learning.

  • Technology and Coding - Developing digital literacy and problem-solving skills with a focus on ethical technology use.

  • Engineering Challenges - Engaging in hands-on projects that promote teamwork and creative solutions.

  • Art and Design Thinking - Encouraging self-expression and innovation through visual arts, music, and digital media.

  • Mathematical Exploration - Strengthening logic and analytical skills to understand patterns in God's creation.

​

WHY STEAM MATTER

STEAM education prepares students for 21st-century careers, encouraging them to be innovative thinkers, responsible leaders, and faithful stewards of their knowledge and abilities. By integrating faith and academics, we help students develop a well-rounded perspective that fosters both excellence and service.
