The Excitement of Innovation:
iSTEAM at Fordham Prep

Providing access to a dynamic science, technology, engineering, art, and math program through an Ignatian perspective (or iSTEAM) allows Fordham Prep students to weave together ideas from various disciplines, think critically, be creative, and use discovery as an engine for learning.

According to a 2013 report from the U.S. Department of Education, only 40% of high school students are prepared to take college-level science and math coursework.

Our purpose

Fordham Prep’s Innovation & Technology program creates opportunities for our students to engage actively in the pursuit of scientific research and design projects. We strive to do this within the context of an Ignatian institution. Fordham Prep also fosters the academic achievement of our students by creating time and space for students to invent, build, participate in authentic research, and pursue important questions through multiple lenses. 

Project-based learning and immersion experiences offer our students pathways of learning bent toward technology, engineering, sciences, and the arts. Students also have an opportunity to conduct research and present findings during an annual campus-wide symposium.
