At Maltman’s Green School, we believe that a balanced curriculum—which includes STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics)—is essential for nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and academic success in girls. This integrated approach prepares them for a rapidly changing world, equipping them with the necessary life skills to thrive.
What is a STEAM Education?
A STEAM education combines science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics into one comprehensive learning model. This holistic approach helps students think more critically, creatively, and broadly, preparing them for real-world applications to encourage intellectual, emotional, and physical growth.
By blending STEAM with the arts, we provide a well-rounded educational experience that supports academic achievement while fostering personal development, nurturing our girls to help them succeed in any field.
STEAM vs STEM Education: What’s the Difference and why is it important?
While traditional STEM education focuses on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, our STEAM programme integrates the arts. This encourages students to explore and understand the interconnectedness of various disciplines, to broaden their perspective and promote creative problem-solving inside the classroom and in everyday life.
STEAM in Early Childhood Education
Introducing STEAM in early childhood education sparks curiosity and builds foundational skills that students carry with them throughout their academic careers.
At Maltman’s Green, we begin STEAM activities at a young age, priming students for success both intellectually and emotionally.
This early exposure nurtures both their analytical thinking and their emotional expression, ensuring they grow up to be confident, curious learners who are ready to tackle complex challenges inside and outside the classroom – preparing her for lifelong success, regardless of whether she chooses a career in science or the arts.
Encouraging A Passion for Lifelong Learning
As parents, it’s important to support your daughter’s exploration in both areas. Encourage her to participate in STEAM clubs, coding workshops or science fairs while also engaging in art classes, drama or music.
This dual exposure can ignite a passion for learning that transcends traditional boundaries. Through this exposure, students are more motivated and excited to pursue diverse academic interests, fostering a love for learning that lasts well beyond school.
