Electives

One of the many ways we support the Multiple Intelligence Theory, constructed by Howard Gardner, is by offering electives to ALL students at every grade level.  We firmly believe that study in non-core subjects not only helps develop a whole-child approach to learning, but also improves the child’s incorporation of foundations in core subjects as well.  For instance, national studies have proven the study of music promotes better understanding of mathematics.

Our elective content changes during the school year, some of the most popular included:

• Movement
• Puppet Story Telling
• Science Through Art
• Dungeons & Dragons
• Origami
• Hip Hop
• Student Council
• Gardening

Electives will be offered in grade TK- 8 on Fridays beginning in August!
