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.
