Extracurricular Activities
Spanish
Our Spanish curriculum utilizes the VAMOS program for our upper elementary grades. We supplement this with engaging cultural lessons for holidays like Cinco de Mayo and Las Posadas, as well as other materials.. We're also excited to use Garbanzo, a reading platform that is integrated into our lessons. Garbanzo will be used for both independent assignments and teacher-led activities, allowing students to explore the platform's library and curated learning paths. Garbanzo is used with our kindergarten, first, and second-grade students as well.
Arts
Visual arts play a vital role in developing creativity and innovation in our students. Our program teaches fundamental art elements like line, color, texture and shape through hands-on activities and varied media.
Students learn to express themselves visually, build confidence and take pride in their creations. We also explore diverse artists and cultural themes, often using our inspiring outdoor campus spaces to spark creativity.
Performing Arts
Our performing arts and music program inspires creativity, teamwork and focus while making learning enjoyable.
Students develop important skills as they learn to read music, practice rhythms, sing, dance, write songs and explore improvisation. Through these activities, students build confidence, communication skills, and creativity—important tools for success both in and outside the classroom.
Physical Education
Regular physical activity is essential for children’s health and well-being. It helps improve cardiorespiratory fitness, build strong bones and muscles, manage weight, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Our physical education program is designed to support students at every age. Younger children develop gross motor skills, practice turn-taking, and learn to follow directions—all while having fun. As students progress to older grades, the focus shifts toward teamwork, fitness awareness, and improving personal fitness levels, helping prepare them for a healthy, active lifestyle.
Environmental Science
Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines physical, biological and information sciences to explore the natural world and address environmental challenges. It also draws on social sciences to help students understand human relationships, perceptions, and policies related to the environment.
We nurture children’s natural curiosity by using our expansive 43-acre campus—complete with trails, ponds, fields, gardens, and forests—as a living classroom. Here, students are encouraged to make observations, record and share their discoveries, and ask thoughtful questions that deepen their connection to the world around them.
