Classes

Music - Each day students will begin and end in music class. They will learn a variety of skills from sight singing to simple composition to presenting ideas to the class. This is all done in a nurturing environment.

Art - Students explore their creative sides in a daily art class. They study several styles of art and get their hands dirty. Past projects have been glass painting, tie-dying, and flower pot pens, among others.

Dance - Participation in tap class rounds out the day and allows students to get up and move! Students will be instructed in beginning tap dance. They need no prior training and will leave with some early skills. They will even perform for parents at the end of the week.
