STEM

At Hillel Academy, our STEM program integrates science, technology, engineering, and math in a way that equips students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world. Through this approach, students gain a strong foundation in problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity, preparing them to contribute meaningfully to the future. By embedding these disciplines within the broader context of our curriculum, we empower students to navigate and shape the future with confidence and purpose.

Early Learning Center

In our preschool, STEM concepts are introduced through hands-on exploration and play, fostering curiosity and creativity in young learners. Students engage with age-appropriate activities that encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking. Through building structures with blocks, experimenting with simple machines, exploring nature, and using technology tools, preschoolers develop foundational skills in science, technology, engineering, and math while having fun and learning to work collaboratively.

Kindergarten - 4th Grade

In Kindergarten through 4th grade, students dive into STEM concepts through hands-on learning in their very own STEM lab, guided by the Smithsonian Curriculum.

 

They explore science, technology, engineering, and math through engaging, inquiry-based projects that foster creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration. Whether experimenting with materials, building prototypes, or utilizing technology, students develop essential skills while discovering how STEM connects to the world around them.

 

In our hydroponic garden, a collaborative project with TUB Farms, students learn about sustainable farming and the science behind growing plants without soil, deepening their understanding of the environment and how innovation can drive positive change.

Middle School

The middle school science curriculum evolves with student interests, utilizing the five E’s instructional model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate). Through lessons, projects, and lab experiments, students develop a deep understanding and integrate various science disciplines, focusing on critical thinking rather than memorization.

 

With a hands-on, project-based approach, Earth, Life, and Physical Sciences inspire curiosity, and by the end of 8th grade, students earn one high school credit hour in Integrated Physical Science.
