Activities Alpha students are presented with a challenging academic curriculum and outstanding programs in language arts, science, reading, mathematics, computer skills, and Spanish. In addition, opportunities abound for enrichment with extracurricular activities such as Chess Club, forensics, soccer, basketball, swimming, band, and Student Council. An excellent fine arts program affords students the opportunity to master theory and then to apply their knowledge in creative expression. The music program is one of instruction and performance. Students may participate in the school band.
Students excel in their academic studies, and in their extracurricular and community involvement.
Alpha students are consistently represented among the winners of such competitions as Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science Fair, the English Festival, the WQED Musical Kid of the Month, and the Scholastic Art Exhibit. In collaboration with La Roche, students can participate in the Challenge Program, which offers accelerated programming to qualified students. Merging the Classics, a music program that combines both classical and jazz music instruction, is also available. In addition, La Roche sponsors an annual art exhibit for Alpha students as well as other shared opportunities.
