Arts & Electives

During weekly classes, students make art and music, learn cooperative games in Physical Education, learn to sing and greet one another in Spanish, play with their older buddies, plant and pick vegetables and herbs in our garden, take walks in our woods, and spend time reading with our librarian.

Based on our annual residencies with local artists, students spend several weeks learning to drum and dance as they do in West Africa, and they rehearse and perform a curriculum-related original class play at our weekly Friday Gathering.

Our 1st Graders begin taking violin and add a Media Arts residency as well.
