Maryknoll Fathers’ School has firmly established STEAM education as a cornerstone of its curriculum, leveraging years of successful experience to create a cohesive, research-informed STREAM program. This innovative curriculum expands traditional STEM by seamlessly integrating Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics across both core and elective subjects, empowering students to explore and innovate.
Key programs have successfully laid the groundwork for STREAM learning. The F.1 Integrated Science Research Methods module sparks inquiry, while the integration of state-of-the-art technologies enhances Computer Literacy and Integrated Computer Technology instruction. Additionally, the inclusion of Visual Arts enriches project design with aesthetic appreciation, inspiring students to think creatively.
Since 2019, Maryknoll Fathers’ School has served as a Network Coordinating School under the Quality Education Fund Thematic Networks Scheme, sharing its expertise and supporting peer institutions in their STEAM initiatives.
STREAM thrives on dynamic learning opportunities through hands-on experimentation and interdisciplinary collaboration. Signature activities—such as simulated crime scene investigations—combine scientific reasoning, mathematical application, teamwork, and creativity. A major F.2 project utilizes design thinking, values education, community service, and innovation to address real challenges faced by disadvantaged communities, seamlessly integrating Service Learning into the process.
The school’s dedicated STREAM laboratory features robotics, virtual reality, digital arts, coding and engineering projects, transforming theoretical concepts into useful real-world solutions. Noteworthy student achievements, including an award-winning edible utensil coating designed to enhance hygiene and reduce plastic waste, underscore the school’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
External competitions and enrichment programs—including the PolyU Junior Researcher Program, the Greater Bay Area Youth AI and Cybersecurity Challenge, the Space Station Payload and Science Experiment Design Challenge, and the HKIIT Spatial Experience Design Competition—nurture the unique talents of our students. These initiatives blend academic rigor with curiosity, analytical thinking, collaboration, resilience, and grit, fostering well-rounded development and paving the way for students to become future leaders in their fields.
