阻止程序
2014年春天, the growth of Xaverian's 阻止程序 was bolstered by a transformative gift of $1 million from Mr. 和夫人. Michael T. Strianese 74. He is a proud graduate of Xaverian’s class of 1974 and credits his time at his alma mater for providing him with the educational and spiritual groundwork which has served as the bedrock of his success.

2023年夏天，特朗普. 和夫人. Strianese made another transformative gift of $5 million to enhance the school’s facility and plan for future expansion.

“能够在母校的董事会任职是我的荣幸。. Strianese, 前任主席, 总统, L3的首席执行官, 一家全球性的航空航天和国家安全公司. “I believe it is essential to provide the current and future students with all they need to succeed in their future.”

什么是阀杆?

阀杆 education programs are project and problem-based learning through hands-on classroom experiences. 学生创造, 设计, and build to solve problems while being exposed to the industries where these skill sets are most needed.

阀杆教育是当今高科技、高技能全球经济的核心. Our next generation of leaders -- the students of today -- must develop the critical reasoning 以及解决问题的能力 that will help make them the most productive in the world.

As part of our commitment to fully preparing our students for success in the global economy, Xaverian与Project Lead 的 Way (PLTW)合作, 严谨和创新科学的领先提供者, 技术, 工程, and 数学ematics (阀杆) education curricular programs used in middle and high schools across the U.S.

在接下来的十年, 美国将面临合格工程师的短缺, 科学家们, 以及数学专业人士. Xaverian, 通过PLTW项目, 能让我们的毕业生更好地适应不断变化的就业市场吗.

4项清单.

通往科技基金单位的门户

自动化与机器人(AR)
学生追溯自动化和机器人技术的历史、发展和影响. 他们学习机械系统, 能量转移, 机器自动化和计算机控制系统. 学生使用强大的机器人平台进行设计, 构建并编写解决方案以解决现有问题.

设计与建模(DM)
在本单元中, students begin to recognize the value of an 工程 notebook to document and capture their ideas. 的y are introduced to and use the 设计 process to solve problems and understand the influence that creative and innovative 设计 has on our lives. Students use industry standard 3D modeling software to create a virtual image of their 设计s and produce a portfolio to showcase their creative solutions
计算机科学专业

的 Project Lead the Way (PLTW) pathway to Computer 科学 is a sequence of courses that follow a hands-on, 解决现实世界的学习方法. 学生钻研应用程序开发, 网页设计, 编程, 以及与使用互联网和社交媒体有关的道德问题. 他们了解计算机编程在工程领域的作用, 生物信息学, 医学, 以及其他相关医疗行业.
工程之路|高中工程课程

的 PLTW Pathway To 工程 (PTE) program is a sequence of courses which follows a proven hands-on, 解决现实问题的学习方法. 在PTE, 学生学习和应用设计过程, 具备较强的团队合作能力和沟通能力, 发展组织, 批判性思维的, 以及解决问题的能力. 的y discover the answers to questions like how are things made and what processes go into creating products? Students use the same industry-leading 3D 设计 software used by companies like Intel and Lockheed Martin. 他们探索空气动力学、航天学和空间生命科学. 学生应用与生物力学相关的生物和工程概念. 他们的设计, 测试, and actually construct circuits and devices such as smart phones and tablets and work collaboratively on a culminating capstone project. It’s 阀杆 education, and it’s at the heart of today’s high-tech, high-skill global economy.
生物医学科学

的 rigorous and relevant four-course PLTW 生物医学科学 sequence allows students to investigate the roles of biomedical professionals as they study the concepts of human 医学, 生理学, 遗传学, 微生物学, 公共卫生. Students engage in activities like investigating the death of a fictional person to learn content in the context of real-world cases. 的y examine the structures and interactions of 人体系统 and explore the prevention, 诊断。, 以及疾病的治疗, all while working collaboratively to understand and 设计 solutions to the most pressing health challenges of today and the future.

巴伦魏

巴伦魏, 泽维良2018届的毕业生, is a product of Xaverian’s 阀杆 program and is currently studying 计算机科学 and math at Harvard University. 他最近回忆起在Xaverian的时光是如何让他走到今天的. 魏说:“泽维良给了我坚实的学习基础. 通过高级数学和工程课程, Xaverian让我能够深入挖掘并探索我感兴趣的领域. I took advantage of the 工程 program at Xaverian and that has given me a strong skill set and mindset that I could extrapolate to any other 阀杆 field such as 计算机科学.”
Mr. 格雷戈里·德尔·乔治

Mr. 格雷戈里·德尔·乔治, 干老师, 说, “阀杆开辟了新的思维方式, 每个学生心中都有了新的激情，这可能是他们以前没有想到的. It has given our students the tools needed to succeed at top universities across the country, 包括哈佛大学, 康奈尔大学, 巴黎圣母院, 纽约大学, 和史蒂文斯理工学院.”
詹妮弗·德里斯科尔

詹妮弗·德里斯科尔, a graduate of Xaverian’s class of 2020 and a freshman at the University of 巴黎圣母院 studying civil 工程, 说, “在Xaverian, 我读的是工程专业，这使我在大学里接触到了工程专业. I don't think I would've considered it as a career path if I were not exposed to it at Xaverian. I had such amazing teachers and mentors to guide me and give me that confidence to try something new and challenge myself.”
Ms. 艾琳Richroath

Ms. 艾琳Richroath, 干老师, 说, “通过对编码和机器人技术的探索, 飞行与太空, 人体系统, 和更多的, 创世纪的阀杆项目旨在激发学生对发现的热情. 学生参与实践, 协作解决问题，专注于现实世界的挑战, students use and stretch their imaginations in brand-new ways and connect their learning to life. 一直以来, stepping into roles spanning the career landscape – a crucial experience during this transitional time in their lives."
马修·卡尔沃

马修·卡尔沃 ’23 stated, “Xaverian’s advanced 阀杆 program was the main reason I chose to attend. 现在, 五年后回想起这个决定, 这是我做过的最伟大的决定. PLTW项目让我了解了工程的基本原理, 其中一些我现在每天都在大学课程中使用. 作为普渡大学工程系的一年级学生, there are many new concepts that have proved challenging for my peers; however, 早在大二的时候，这些概念就被介绍给了Xaverian的学生.”
塔拉时

塔拉时 '20 stated, "Xaverian’s 阻止程序 helped shape my educational and career journey. 的计算机科学专业 helped introduce me to the future of technology and how I could be a part of that future. 它激励我成为一名计算机科学专业的学生，并从事网络安全方面的职业. 没有这个程序, I would not be graduating in the fall with a full time offer at a cybersecurity consulting position.
