Integrating Science, Engineering, Creativity and Wonder

On St. Patrick’s Day, our seventh and eighth graders dressed in green to celebrate the beloved saint—and launched into an exciting STREAM adventure! Under the guidance of Upper School Science teacher Mr. Cirillo, students built and tested a working model of a trebuchet, applying their knowledge of force and motion as part of their classical Nature Studies. With the concept proven and data collected, the full build is now officially underway for the upcoming STREAM Fair! This hands-on experience blends science, engineering, creativity, and wonder—just as a classical liberal arts education is meant to do. Rooted in faith and reason, our students are learning to explore the world as a reflection of God’s orderly and awe-inspiring creation. From festive green to flinging machines—this day had it all!
