Art with Nathan Dyke
Our art class includes lecture, visual examples and hands on art projects. Students are introduced to various art concepts, movements and art history in a fun and interactive classroom environment.
Music with Nathan Dyke
Junior Elementary (ages 6-9)—Focus this year has been experiencing music of other countries, singing folk music and listening to instruments particular to that country. We also spend some time listening to classical music, such as Peter and the Wolf.
Senior Elementary (ages 9-12)—Focus here has been learning the notation of music—rhythms, note-reading—through exercises and games. The second half of the year is devoted to applying these skills to playing the recorder.
Middle School—We have learned about composers, jobs related to a music career, as well as styles of music. The current project is preparing to present a musical production in May.

We are bringing “Broadway Jazz” to our students. The children will enjoy musical theatre style dance with a fun presentation to showcase at the end of the semester. This class is great for both boys and girls! Additionally, we will continue to offer the Irish Dance on Thursdays!

Children will measure, count, pour, mix, and identify ingredients used in a variety of cultural dishes. Students will be introduced to new foods and will work with a variety of kitchen tools. This hands-on experience will help your child build skills in self-confidence as they learn valuable kitchen skills. The most important ingredient, of course, is a love of cooking!
