STEAM

Swartz Creek Community Schools is committed to providing a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) rich environment for students to flourish in a project based, hands-on learning capacity.  After nine years of building an engaging program, SCCS students are given a safe and engaging environment that allows for learning through different facets. New State of the art STEAM wings on all of our buildings allow students at every grade level the opportunity to flourish in a setting different from that of a traditional classroom.
