Parents, sponsors, students, and families will attend to celebrate this investment to provide every student at The Oakwood School access to STEAM learning experiences.“Adding a second Innovation Lab, expanding our STEAM offerings to our younger students, and founding Rho Sigma Omega (a national STEAM honor society recently founded at Oakwood) are additional steps forward in differentiating Oakwood as the best school in the area,” said Quesnel.“The addition of the new lab will also create more opportunities for our Upper School students in our existing lab as moving the sixth and seventh grade students to their new lab will free up scheduling space for us to offer level 3 STEAM classes in the Upper School. As part of the growth of our STEAM program, we will also be adding a new wind tunnel and a new laser engraver to the Upper School's lab…Due to initiatives like the new lab, Oakwood was recently ranked by niche.com as the #1 STEM high school and the #1 overall K-12 independent school in the area.”
