We
offer an afterschool program and special camps during school breaks which bridge
the public school system's schedule. Our focus is to create a sacred space where
students feel emotionally safe and have the opportunity to explore their creativity.
Social skills, personal value and respect emerge as each student takes
their place as a functional and integral part in our community. Everyone works
together to serve snacks, care for the classroom, garden and discuss important
issues in their lives. Special projects are developed from the classroom interest
to encourage problem solving, critical thinking and creative expression. Environmental
awareness and history are key subjects for the students, which assist them in
their growing perceptions of their world. Field trips are a part of our
program where the class engages in adventure, learning and discovery! Museums,
parks, exhibits, theatrical performances and farms are just a few places offering
a fun and educational experience. During the summer months lots of swimming
and team sports are included in our weekly activities. Friendships, life skills
and memories are formed which can last a life time. |
