STREAM is an expansion of STEM. It is an acronym for Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, the Arts, and Math. Catholic schools take the principals of STEM, infuse religion across all subjects, and add the arts to provide students the creative thinking skills necessary to communicate and advance STEM in the real world.

STREAM is not a new curriculum, but a framework for creative instruction that enables teachers to focus in an interdisciplinary way on Science, Engineering, Technology and Math (STEM), while integrating the Arts (STEAM), and allowing Religion to flow throughout the daily routine (STREAM).

When students engage in activities that combine different elements of STREAM, they experience guided inquiry in which they must ask thoughtful questions, discover answers, apply what they learn, and problem-solve creatively.
