OUR PROGRAMS
STEAM
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Advance real world learning by helping students develop passion and skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. Students’ self-esteem, confidence and creativity increase as they work on project- based learning activities. This contributes to intensifying their experience of learning, its meaning and purpose.
Sign Language
Sign Language American Sign Language not only helps students communicate at a young age, it enhances the cognitive process: higher abstract thinking, better problem solving, listening skills and greater academic achievement. Learning Sign Language also gives the students’ a chance to explore and gain an appreciation of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Physical Education
Physical Education Our elementary P.E. Program features opportunities to enhance cardiovascular and strength training with the goals of enjoying physical activity, along with helping students maintain focus during core subjects. Physical education builds strong muscles, a healthy heart and active brain.
Art develops
Art develops habits of the mind including problem solving, critical and creative thinking skills, as well as an increase in focus and intellectual risk taking. Art teaches that each person thinks and sees things differently, thereby promoting tolerance for each other’s differences.
