STEM
Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics
Innovative and entrepreneurial ideas don't just happen; they require work and persistence. From PreK through 12th grade our science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses (STEM) guide student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. Whether working with tools in our Chesapeake Campus Maker Lab and Teel Campus Innovation Center or creating a business plan based on user-centered design, our students gain the necessary skills to solve real-world problems with the internal motivation to try, fail, and keep trying.
At Severn, we place students and teachers at the center of our decision making. The Design Thinking methodology allows us to make highly relevant (effective) decisions for our constituents as this process, by design, is structured to place a priority on user voice through empathy and iterations.

STEM Course Offerings
As a complement to a strong foundation in language arts, English, social sciences, history, foreign language, and traditional visual and performing arts, Severn’s broad academic experience fosters the habits and attitudes of mind that allow for success in an array of STEM fields. We provide opportunities for our youngest students through our most advanced seniors to forge foundational skills — perseverance, and cooperation, written and oral presentation skills, writing skills, endurance in problem-solving, and the capacity to self-assess — on which they will continue to rely through college and beyond.
