IB
Alpine offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IB-PYP) in conjunction with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The IB-PYP program uses student interest to study topics that are important in the world in which we live. Through the IB-PYP program at Alpine, students develop an understanding of important concepts; acquire and practice a range of essential skills; conduct research and develop knowledge that has local and global significance; develop positive attitudes toward learning, the environment and humanity; and have the opportunity for involvement in responsible action.

STEM
Alpine’s STEM program emphasizes the critical nature of STEM education in an ever changing world. STEM is integrated throughout the day using a Design Thinking model created at Stanford University. The model is human-centered, which means the process is not focused on the object, product or idea being designed, but rather on the needs and interests of the end-user. Students easily connect STEM methodology to the IB learning concepts and the actions they take to better their world. AES.SVVSD.ORG/ACADEMICS/STEM
TECHNOLOGY
Alpine students use technology as tools for research, collaboration and creativity. Students preschool through fifth grade have access to iPads, Chromebooks, iMacs, projection systems, document cameras, robotics and a 3D printer.
