Computer Lessons
All children have computer instruction built into the regular school curriculum in a separate computer lab. This is provided at no extra charge to you.

Foreign Language Lessons
Our native-speaking Spanish teacher gives a lesson once a week in each classroom. (Children who attend 5 full days receive two lessons per week.) Using songs, stories, puppetry and a variety of other materials, students are exposed to Spanish language and culture.

Music Lessons
Our music teacher visits each classroom once a week to provide children with a basic understanding and appreciation of music. (Children who attend 5 full days receive two lessons per week.)

The music curriculum begins with a look at the origins and history of music. Students learn about the sections of the orchestra (strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion) and the instruments that make up each section, sometimes with visits from parent-musicians. They learn about and listen to works by a variety of composers from all over the world. Students learn about the four sections that make up a choir (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), parts of the song (e.g. melody, rhythm), and begin to use vocabulary associated with music (e.g. "forte" means loud, "piano" means soft, "fortissimo" means very loud, "pianissimo" means very quiet.) Students are shown the basics of musical notation and learn to recognize the different notes on a staff. Of course students also learn to sing a variety of songs throughout the year.

Elementary students also learn to play the recorder, and in doing so, begin to learn how to read music.
