STEAM at ISH: Where Creativity Meets Innovation
At International School Hilversum, we believe that learning thrives at the intersection of creativity and innovation. That’s why we’ve embraced STEAM—an integrated approach that combines Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) with the Arts.
The "A" in STEAM represents art in its broadest sense—from visual arts like painting and photography to music, drama, movement, and more. By merging these disciplines, students explore the world in more creative, meaningful, and interconnected ways.
Our STEAM projects are all about learning through doing. Students take a hands-on, exploratory approach, where ideas grow organically through experimentation, imagination, and resourcefulness. Rather than following a fixed path, they’re encouraged to adapt, collaborate, and embrace the unexpected—developing not just technical skills, but also creativity, resilience, and teamwork.
It’s not only about the final outcome—it’s about the learning journey.
Tinkering, trying, tweaking, and testing. Together.
STEAM helps our students build the confidence to explore, the skills to innovate, and the mindset to adapt to a fast-changing world.
