History
At CAML Academy, we believe that the STEM subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math open more doors to student success than any other educational pursuit. Consistent exposure to digital tools and languages is inevitable in our modern world. Embracing digital technology helps create powerful foundations for learning, propelling students to new heights regardless of whether they want to pursue careers in computers or they want to be well-rounded citizen in the 21st century. At CAML, we design our programs to be fun, playful, and project-driven to address children's natural curiosity. We believe children learn best when they are actively working on meaningful projects, generating new ideas, designing prototypes and constantly refining through an iterative process. Research shows that project-based learning helps students perform well on school tests, improves problem-solving and collaboration skills, and improves attitudes towards learning.
