Enrichment classes are included in the weekly schedule for all students.  Students enjoy art, music, drama, French (Kgn-5th), and technology.  Along with these subjects, our students will experience studies in archeology and nutrition/wellness.  Our middle school students enjoy elective or “Options” classes such as, yearbook, debate, journalism, and Student Council.  A well-rounded school experience allows students many opportunities in which to excel.  Adding diversity and interest to the school day makes learning a joy.

 

  
 

Technology

In our new lab, equipped with the latest hardware and software systems, our students learn applied technology.  The technology instructor works with the teachers to make projects and lessons applicable to grade level curriculum.   Students get their first experience in the computer lab in pre-school, as the very basic foundation is put in place.  Utilizing a program call Scholastic Keys, and moving in later grades to Microsoft Office Suite, proficiency builds each year as students master all the applications.
