Specials & Electives

A group of students in Art Class.

Specials and Electives give students the chance to step outside traditional academics and discover new dimensions of themselves. 

Whether it’s expressing emotions through art or music, learning the teamwork that comes with sports, or solving real-world problems in Smart Lab, these subjects tap into parts of a child’s development that math and reading alone can’t touch.
