Arts & Cultural Enrichment

Students explore multicultural and Cultural diversity through art which will help them better understand their connection with their broader community. Students will express their creativity through painting, drawing, acting, dancing, music, and more, all while exploring how cultures affect and change artistic expression.

S.T.E.M.

If your child is a creator, thinker, problem solver, doer, innovator, or inventor then the Junior Swarm S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) experience is right for your child.  Students will explore how S.T.E.M. connects to real-world work experiences through hands-on projects and activities. 

Social-Emotional Learning

Every student has a voice that deserves to be heard! Students learn how to better comprehend their emotions and demonstrate empathy for others. The students learn the five competencies of Social-Emotional Learning: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making. These important skills help students to manage healthy relationships and stressful workloads that they will experience in the future.

Students are provided opportunities to explore what their interests are, and learn about potential careers through guest speakers, workshops, and research. Students will also learn how to gain job experience and seek additional educational opportunities and/or certificate programs to support their career development.

Financial Literacy

Students explore how to apply financial knowledge by learning how to make good financial decisions and how to develop them into habits. Students will explore how to set financial goals, create a budget, learn banking language, learn how to appropriately use credit cards, apply for student loans, and pay for college.

Service Learning

Service learning connects student learning in the classroom with real-world experiences in the community. Students gain practical skills, develop their career and personal interests, and learn the importance of giving back to the community.
