I also heard Pegasus expanded science/tech space at some point… does that translate into more hands-on STEM in both lower + middle school or mostly older grades

The Pegasus School has significantly enhanced its science and technology offerings, ensuring that hands-on STEM education is accessible to students from lower school through middle school.

Program Expansion

The recent completion of the Kazu Fukuda Science and Technology Center has provided specialized labs for all grades, from pre-K through 8th. This facility supports a curriculum that emphasizes practical, inquiry-based learning experiences.

Lower School Initiatives

  • Students in grades Pre-K to 5 participate in specialty science and computer science classes early on, with programs like "Serious About Science" for grades K–3 focusing on hands-on activities.
Middle School Advancements
  • For grades 6–8, the curriculum includes more advanced projects, such as robotics and engineering design, allowing students to engage in deeper explorations of technology and programming.
Overall, the commitment to STEM at The Pegasus School fosters an environment where students of all ages can develop essential skills in science and technology, preparing them for future academic pursuits and careers in these fields.
