SPECIAL AREAS

  Standard Academics are not the only things that a student needs to succeed!  We believe a student should be challenged and stretched in all areas, so that they can become experts in their strengths, and grow their weaknesses.  Each week the student attends each special area: art, music, and physical education.

ART  (Mrs. Heather Khalifeh): Art is a chance to visually express oneself.  Ms. Khalifeh takes students through the fun that is self-expression and exploration through the visual arts.  They complete a number of projects through the year, and she often incorporates their projects into the standard academic studies and into the Curriculum Fairs that we hold. 

MUSIC  While Art is a visual art, Music is an auditory art.  Music here is an expression of self through sound, movement, rhythm, and harmony.  It can be deeply individual or powerfully combined as a group.  We continually grow our program to include instrument study, general music knowledge, band orchestration, and more!

PHYSICAL EDUCATION  P.E. is more than just recess!  Its fitness, flexibility, exercise, and fun.
