The ability to play pitched and non-pitched instruments properly is further developed. Opportunities for creative work are integrated into almost every aspect of this eclectic curriculum. In many cages, hands-on experiences are utilized as a means to acquiring and practicing new skills. The class meets every other day for one-half of the school year. The physical education program provides maximum opportunities for the development of each child.
Emphasis is on active participation and growth in skill development in a variety of sports.
Equally important is the development of positive attitudes toward physical activity and an awareness of the contribution physical activity makes toward enhancing the quality of life. Students participate in the Connecticut Physical Fitness test each year. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for and commit to maintaining their own physical fitness. Project Adventure activities, initiatives, and elements are also included in the curriculum. Trust building, cooperation, communication, and group problem-solving are all areas of focus within Project Adventure.
