DISCOVER STREAM: WHERE CURIOSITY MEETS INNOVATION

The STREAM Program at Resurrection College Prep is a four-year interdisciplinary academic pathway designed for students who are curious, motivated, and interested in solving real-world problems through inquiry, innovation, and ethical reflection.

STREAM integrates:

• Scientific and technical thinking
• Engineering and design
• Creative expression and innovation
• Ethical reasoning grounded in Catholic and Lasallian values
• Research, collaboration, and communication

Students learn not only what to know; but how knowledge is created, applied, questioned, and communicated.

 

WHY IS STREAM AN ELECTIVE (NOT A SCIENCE CREDIT)

STREAM courses do not replace core science classes such as  Biology, Chemistry, or Physics.

While STREAM uses scientific thinking; it is intentionally designed as an interdisciplinary research and innovation course, similar to honors seminars, capstone programs, or innovation labs.

STREAM focuses on: Inquiry and research • Design thinking and problem-solving • Ethical and social impact • Presentation, reflection, and communication

Colleges value STREAM courses as rigorous, high-impact electives, especially when paired with strong core science coursework.

 

WHO THRIVES IN STREAM?

We welcome students who demonstrate:

• A solid background in math and science, along with teacher insights that suggest readiness for honors-level inquiry.
• A natural curiosity to ask complex questions, comfort with open-ended problems, an eagerness to collaborate, and the resilience to revise and improve work.
• An interest in engaging with long-term projects, conducting independent research, and sharing discoveries through public presentations.
