Programs

At Silverwood, our STEM program is designed to ignite curiosity and foster a love of learning through hands-on exploration and discovery. Students dive into engaging activities that promote critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and meaningful collaboration.

Guided by passionate educators, students explore the interconnected fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, gaining the skills and confidence they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. From building and coding robots to investigating the marvels of the natural environment, each day brings new opportunities to learn, create, and grow.

Join us as we empower students to think boldly, innovate fearlessly, and embrace the endless possibilities of STEM. At Silverwood, we’re not just teaching students—we’re shaping the next generation of inventors, leaders, and problem-solvers!

We’re excited to continue building on the success of Silverwood Elementary School’s Art Program, now in its second year! Launched last year, this vibrant program was created to spark creativity, encourage self-expression, and inspire our young artists.

Under the guidance of our passionate Art Specialist, Ms. Porter, students explore a wide range of artistic techniques and materials—from painting and drawing to sculpture and mixed media. Each lesson is a journey of imagination, skill-building, and discovery that deepens students’ appreciation for the arts.

As we enter this second year, we look forward to even more colorful creations, expressive projects, and opportunities for students to shine. Together, let’s continue cultivating creativity and celebrating the joy of artistic expression at Silverwood!
