Beyond Academics

Exploratory Courses

Middle Division students participate in a daily exploratory class.  Studio Art exposes students to the fundamental elements of two and three dimensional art forms based. Physical Education affords students the opportunity to increase their knowledge of healthy lifestyle choices through physical activity, mini health lessons, and team games. The importance of fitness is a key feature of the physical education program.  Other exploratory courses, like music, drama, and foreign language explorations, enhance the whole-child learning experience.

Advisory

Students have the additional benefit of a faculty advising program. Students meet daily with an assigned advisor for the purpose of engaging in social and character development, along with strengthening executive function skills.  This block of time is also used for student-centered activities like student council meetings, recycle team, service learning projects, and Club Fridays.  This time allows for individual student check-ins to build positive character behaviors and allow for the application of strengthening executive function skills.
