The mission of the Steam Laboratory School (SLS) is to create a diverse and inclusive school community that inspires young people—including girls, those from marginalized social, economic or cultural groups and those with special educational needs—to advance their knowledge and understanding of the world and to engage in concrete actions that lead to improvement of their own lives and the lives of those around them. SLS prepares students for careers and for life, through competency-based programs and individualized, authentic learning experiences. SLS builds knowledge of STEAM throughout Belize through its work with young people, educators, and local and international partners.
