Cubs collaborate, make, and innovate!
Our students learn by doing. They reflect on problems big and small, local and global, tangible and intangible. They work together and develop plans. They bring their ideas to life and then discover ways to improve.
Mount Carmel forms lifelong learners through a holistic, forward-thinking, and faith-inspired education. We are proud to be Cognia STEM Certified, but we believe that religion and art (musical, visual, and literary) are of equal importance. STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) serves as an extension of STEM.
Cubs Create Design Cycle
Project-based learning and the Cubs Create Design Cycle were introduced at Mount Carmel Academy in 2016 as a way for students to learn by doing through an organized, creative, and collaborative process.
The Cubs Create Design Cycle utilizes six stages for tackling complex, real-world problems. Learn more.
