Mission
The Thomas
O'Brien Academy of Science and Technology (TOAST) is a
school where children, teachers, parents, neighbors and
friends of a culturally diverse community come together
in mutual respect to encourage children to enjoy
learning.
TOAST offers
an environment where every child is free to learn,
experience success, and develop the desire for more
knowledge. Using themes about the relationship between
people and the environment, the curriculum at TOAST will
offer an integrated and creative study of all areas in
the New York State elementary curriculum -- reading,
language arts, math, science, social studies, music,
art and physical education.
Learning
strategies will reflect and reinforce the approaches
that drive the development of science and technology:
curiosity, discovery, observation, problem solving,
inquiry and creativity. Hands-on learning, computers
and partnerships with the New York State Museum and
other community resources will involve children in
actively acquiring the skills, knowledge and attitudes
required to be effective problem solvers in an
ever-changing world.
