Educating the Whole Child:
Mind, Body and Spirit.
Physical Education
Students receive 30 minutes to one hour of Physical Education every day. Students are exposed to a wide range of activities which promote teamwork, physical development, increase motor skills, and healthy lifestyles. The instructor incorporates health and nutrition lessons regularly to improve student understanding of physical development. Further, step and heart rate trackers are used to help students track their activity levels and to set goals. The instructor also works with teachers to implement Bal-A-Vis-X concepts to help students manage stress and hyperactivity.
Music
Ms. Lowder promotes a well-rounded music education that emphasizes music literacy and appreciation, using a blend of ear training, theory exercises, and games to teach students the basics of how to read music. Students also learn about diverse and culturally significant composers representing a wide array of genres, all while examining the role music plays in their daily lives.
Art
Students receive an hour and a half of art instruction every week in which they can develop their creativity and techniques in art. Our certified art instructor crafts lessons designed to help student become familiar with concepts, origins, and artists while promoting curiosity and individuality. Student artwork is displayed all year throughout the school building. Beyond art classes, teachers integrate art and art concepts into other subject areas throughout the day.
