Be Somebody

Be Somebody

“I am somebody. I was somebody when I came, and I will be a better somebody when I leave. I am respectful, I am empathetic, and I am responsible. I deserve the education that I get at The Walt Disney Magnet STEAM School.”

At The Walt Disney Magnet STEAM School, every student is Somebody. We are empowering our students to think, create, and innovate through STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. Our STEAM-infused, project-based curriculum is designed to help students find their own voices, develop critical and creative thinking skills, and engage with the world to create positive change.

A Focus on EQUITY and DIVERSITY

We are one of just two schools in the city designated as an equity incubator school. That means that your child is entering an environment committed to equity, inclusion, and diversity—a space where they will be celebrated for who they are and where they come from. Our equity initiatives include:

  • Culturally responsive curriculum that celebrates and includes people of all backgrounds and cultures.
  • A library filled with culturally diverse books and other media—including a parent lending library!
  • An equity team and coach devoted to reinforcing our culture of equity and inclusion.
  • A parent equity team bringing fresh ideas and perspectives for infusing diversity, cultural sensitivity, and respect throughout our school.

Whose House? YOUR House!

At Disney, we are committed to addressing the needs of the WHOLE child—including not just academics, but also the social and emotional skills students need for success and happiness. We work hard to build a learning environment that is safe, welcoming, inclusive, and respectful for all of our students.

We use a House system to reinforce positive behaviors and build communities of mutual support, respect, and friendship. Our Houses celebrate diversity and achievement through a culturally responsive lens. They also provide a foundation for teaching the “Three Bs” of our school culture: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Empathetic.
