THE CAMPAIGN FOR STEAM EXCELLENCE

EDUCATING TOMORROW’S INNOVATORS

At TASIS Dorado, we are committed to nurturing creativity, innovation, and resilience in our students so they become engaged global citizens and innovative, selfless leaders.

By investing in STEM, we are creating an environment where the extraordinary becomes possible, preparing the next generation of visionary leaders who will shape and thrive in tomorrow’s world.

Guided by the core values of courage, humility, integrity, community, and kindness, the REACHING FOR THE STARS CAMPAIGN aims to create a dynamic learning environment where our students can advance, explore, inspire, lead, and excel with confidence.

WILL YOU JOIN US IN THIS TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY?

Dear TASIS Dorado Community,

I am thrilled to introduce our newest initiative, “Reaching for the Stars: The Campaign for STEAM Excellence.” As Board Chair, I am deeply committed to advancing TASIS Dorado’s legacy as the premier private school in the region and a global leader in education. Together, we are shaping the leaders of tomorrow’s Puerto Rico and beyond.

This campaign reflects our belief in the transformative power of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education to inspire creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. By integrating these disciplines, we prepare our students to tackle real-world challenges, foster collaboration, and drive meaningful change. Technology, artificial intelligence, and product design, coupled with the creativity of the arts, equip our students to think boldly and act decisively in an era of rapid global change. STEAM provides the foundation for our students to explore solutions that advance the human condition.

In addition to expanding our STEAM offerings, this initiative emphasizes the growth of our music and visual arts programs. Through advanced instruction, masterclasses, and world-class practice and performance spaces, we aim to cultivate a love for the arts that inspires leadership and community impact. We believe that the integration of technical skills and creative expression prepares our students to excel in diverse fields and navigate the challenges of the 21st century.

Your support is vital to creating an environment where students thrive academically, develop leadership skills, and make a lasting impact on their communities. Through this campaign, we are not just building state-of-the-art facilities; we are building a future where innovation, creativity, and leadership converge to empower students to dream big and think boldly.

We invite you to join us in Reaching for the Stars. Together, we can shape a brighter future for our students and community.

Warm regards,

Federico Stubbe, Jr. Chair, Board of Directors

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

TASIS Dorado stimulates students to achieve excellence through rigorous academic and extracurricular programs, cultivating a culture of achievement and innovation. Our goal is to prepare well-educated, insightful individuals ready to further their education at leading institutions equipped to tackle tomorrow’s biggest challenges.

BUILDING THE FUTURE TOGETHER

The new STEM Building is more than just a space; it is a foundation for the future, where the seeds of innovation and leadership are planted. This facility will offer the environment and technology that support the mastery of STEM knowledge while fostering critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration essential for success in a rapidly evolving world.

The new Center for STEM Excellence will offer an open concept with thematic floors, each dedicated to a specific STEM field, creating specialized environments that enrich learning and foster collaboration.

At TASIS, we are incredibly proud of our STEAM program, which has fostered a passion for innovation and problem-solving, and led us to be recognized as a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School. This year, we are excited to host the Lego League Challenge Championship, a testament to the incredible creativity and teamwork our students demonstrate. Our students have also achieved outstanding results in math and programming competitions, earning the honor of representing Puerto Rico on the international stage. These accomplishments are just the beginning, as we continue to empower our students to explore, innovate, and lead in the world of STEAM.

PREPARING GLOBAL CITIZENS

At TASIS Dorado, we have developed a leading STEM program, recognized by peer institutions for excellence. This success is reflected in student achievements and faculty accolades across competitions and awards.

Notably, over 33% of our recent graduates were inspired and well-prepared to pursue further education and careers in STEM.

Highlights include our recognition as a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School, top performances in PRIML math competitions, and hosting the First Lego League Challenge Championship for Middle School Robotics.

With growing school-wide enrollment and increased interest in STEM, we need more space for current and future students to explore and delve deeper into unique STEM topics. This will enable us to better prepare TASIS Dorado students for the most challenging and prestigious university and career opportunities while further distinguishing our programs.

Reimagining our current STEM spaces and constructing a new dedicated STEM learning center will affirm TASIS Dorado’s place as the top independent school in Puerto Rico.

The Music & Visual Arts Center (MAC) will be integral to TASIS Dorado’s holistic campus development, establishing a dedicated and purpose-built space for music and visual arts education. This facility will house classrooms, performance areas, practice rooms, and storage spaces, creating a permanent home for our Music Program.

Incorporating all music and visual arts spaces within the main campus will centralize the Elementary and Secondary Music programs in a Harmony Hub with soundproof spaces to optimize the learning environment.

The Visual Arts section will include three specialized ceramics, middle school and high school art classrooms, and a dedicated gallery to showcase student work. Through this investment, TASIS Dorado will provide an inspiring environment that fosters creativity and supports the artistic growth of our students, positioning the arts as an essential component of our comprehensive educational vision.

In the MAC, we are reaching for the stars—cultivating creativity, passion, and excellence in every student and inspiring them to dream big and let their talents shine. Join us on this forward-thinking journey.
