| CURRICULUM
Learning that connects students to the world around them.
D.A.T.E. Academy’s curriculum is a hands-on, integrated approach that gives students a foundation for understanding both the natural and built environment. Rather than teaching subjects in isolation, we connect learning across disciplines — making every concept relevant, every lesson applied, and every student an active participant.
From Kindergarten through 8th grade, agriculture, technology, and environmental science are woven into core academics. Students who leave D.A.T.E. don’t just know things — they know what to do with what they know.
| STEAM PROGRAM
Science. Technology. Engineering. Arts. Math.
D.A.T.E. Academy is a fully STEM-accredited school — and STEAM thinking is embedded in everything we do. We don’t treat these disciplines as separate subjects. We teach them as what they actually are: interconnected tools for solving real problems.
From the TechEagles robotics program to the STEAM Bus that brings mobile learning directly to students, our STEAM offerings give every scholar access to the experiences that build tomorrow’s innovators.
