National Certificate for STEM Excellence

Christ the Redeemer Catholic School is proud to be recognized as a leader in innovative education through its partnership with the National Institute for STEM Education (NISE). In December 2021, CtRCS became the third Catholic elementary school in the United States to earn the National Certificate for STEM Excellence (NCSE) Campus Certification, recognizing the school's commitment to high-impact, research-based STEM instruction and continuous improvement.
Building on that achievement, CtRCS completed the comprehensive certification process and earned its highest level of STEM campus certification in May 2025. This rigorous process involved school-wide reflection, classroom observations, and ongoing evaluation of instructional practices to ensure students receive an engaging, future-focused education.
At CtRCS, STEM extends far beyond science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Our approach embraces STREAM - Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics - reflecting our belief that faith, creativity, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving are essential components of a well-rounded education.
Through STREAM learning experiences, students are challenged to:
- Think critically and solve real-world problems
- Collaborate effectively with peers
- Communicate ideas with confidence
- Apply creativity and innovation across disciplines
- Engage in hands-on, project-based learning
- Connect academic concepts to their faith and everyday lives
This commitment to excellence extends to our faculty as well. Teachers and instructional leaders participate in ongoing professional development and have opportunities to pursue individual STEM certifications through NISE, ensuring that our students benefit from the latest research-based instructional practices.
By combining academic rigor, faith formation, creativity, and innovation, Christ the Redeemer Catholic School prepares students to thrive in an ever-changing world while remaining grounded in Catholic values.
