S.T.R.E.A.M. Synergy School

St. Laurence Catholic School is recognized as a S.T.R.E.A.M. Synergy School
by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

What is STREAM?
Catholic schools expand STEM through the infusion of religion across all subjects and the inclusion of the arts. The result is STREAM - Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, The Arts, and Mathematics. STREAM is a framework of instruction that enhances our commitment to delivering a rigorous and engaging academic program that celebrates, develops, and aspires to meet the needs of our learners.

Why STREAM?
STREAM compliments the long-standing tradition in Catholic schools of educating the whole child from pre-kindergarten through high school. It develops a student’s appreciation of God as our creator and teacher in every area of learning. STREAM raises the bar so that our schools maintain their competitive edge. It is a proactive response to the difficulty business leaders across the United States have in finding skilled individuals prepared for successful careers. STREAM provides opportunities for Catholic schools to be forward-thinking, engaging students in problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and 21st Century Skills. STREAM compliments and enhances instruction in our schools in order to meet the standards of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), which are the foundation of the curriculum in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston schools.      

What is STREAM SYNERGY?
Schools in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston can become part of STREAM SYNERGY, where STREAM activities can be offered as a club, as a special program operating before or after school, or as part of the school’s instructional program. Our school is recognized as a S.T.R.E.A.M. Synergy School by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, and we uphold the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) goals for STREAM learning.
