ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE 

The individualized instruction of English as a foreign language represents a vital part of our college preparatory curriculum.

Children from outside the United States with little or no knowledge of English will be given instructions based on individual needs until they are able to join their appropriate grade level.

Students from the third Grade up  will receive assistance  with pronunciation and the basic grammatical structure of English. 
They learn to use dictionaries, the library, and the Internet, too.

All of our efforts are designed to speed up the process of putting English at the command of children who have to learn the language in order to be integrated  into their regular English classes. 

Art

The  Art  curriculum  is designed to stimulate individual creativity, help with problem solving and creative thinking, increase hand and eye co-ordination, and strengthen self-esteem.  Students at every Grade level will be exposed to drawing exercises to improve drawing skills using pencils and colored pencils working with watercolor, printing techniques and mural painting creating clay sculptures, self portrait paintings, architectural structures/mat board, cardboard masks producing paper mache painting based on imagery, Renaissance Art and Art  History
