The Importance of STEAM Education
Castle Park Private School incorporates STEAM Education.
Here at Castle Park School, our independent primary education program emphasises the value of STEAM education, which integrates the arts and nurtures hard and soft skills. This approach encourages curiosity, innovation, and problem-solving abilities for our pupils to explore and excel in STEAM subjects.
Castle Park Private School in Dalkey, Co.Dublin, hosted a Robotics Workshop.
Our STEAM programme emphasises Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics and aims to stimulate curiosity and a strong sense of inquiry among our students. We encourage them to ask questions about the “Why” and “How” of the world, enabling them to explore its wonders, solve mysteries, and reach their full potential.

They also explore the exciting realm of 3D printing. Castle Park private school equips students with the digital literacy skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Our goal is to provide our pupils with the tools and skills to explore the world of design and construction.
Our pupils use design software to turn their imaginative ideas into reality. They work on projects ranging from architectural structures to intricate artwork. In Art classes, pupils create three-dimensional structures using various materials and techniques. In addition, we now offer an extracurricular activity that involves Minecraft, where pupils can develop problem-solving and collaboration skills while constructing virtual landscapes.
Our private primary school focuses on the intersection of creativity and STEM in Artistic Expression.
Castle Park School offers a private primary education emphasising artistic expression within the STEAM framework. The school’s art and design studio, managed by a specialised art director, allows pupils ample creative freedom to explore and innovate. Situated with views of Dublin Bay, the studio provides pupils with an inspiring environment to fuel their imagination.
Our school holds an end-of-year art exhibition that is well-attended by parents and family members. The exhibition showcases the exceptional work created by our pupils in an environment that fosters artistic expression and comprehensive STEAM education.
