Mathematics & Science
At Idyllwild Arts, the study of nature, experimentation with elements, and solving equations stimulate the curiosity and innovation of our students. Our Science and Mathematics department offers rigorous coursework as part of our 21st-century curriculum, challenging students to utilize their creativity to uncover the stories behind the data and apply their learnings to real life.
Overview
Our integrated approach to science and math education empowers students to collaborate with expert faculty and sharpen their skills. Idyllwild Arts Academy has been offering a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education long before the acronym was ever coined. From using AutoCad, to designing the next theater set, to 3D printing a coliseum-themed collar for a Grecian gown, Idyllwild Arts Academy students are living examples of the value of a STEAM education.
