Electives

This is an opportunity for students to give back to their school and practice role-modeling, organization, and leadership. Students split into small teams to help grades one through four during their arts/athletics blocks.  

Musical: Students experience the hard work and dedication it takes to be part of a play, as well as the joy and exhilaration of a job well done. Students learn lines, songs, stage directions, and choreography. 

Shakespeare: Elective participants study a Shakespeare play in depth and produce and perform an abridged version of the play. 

Boot Camp: This is a fitness course designed to test resilience, strength, stamina, and quick decision-making skills. We engage in various stretches, exercises and routines that develop strength, stamina, and flexibility. 

Sports: Students learn basic fundamentals of a variety of sports and the common traits for success in any endeavor - teamwork, commitment, sacrifice, work ethic, and discipline. Sports may include running, soccer, flag-football, basketball, Ultimate Frisbee, and more! 

Fashion design: Students are introduced to fashion design theories, principles, and techniques and learn the art of sketching, pattern drafting, and sewing.

Printmaking: Students learn different methods of print-making and explore line, area, contrast, positive and negative space, overlapping forms, layering, mirroring, and patterns.

Comic book creation: Students bring together original characters and plots in this introductory comic book illustration class, improving their character development, story writing, and illustration skills.
