As much as possible, the courses will be taught in Spanish. Computer Literacy - An introduction to manipulating words, numbers, and information through the use of computers. Word processing, spreadsheets, Internet skills, and databases form the core of the curriculum, with side trips to multimedia, animation, graphics, typing, communications, programming, and operating systems. Students will use the Internet to access government and university databases for research. We participate in competitive team sports in soccer, basketball, and softball with other small schools.
Teams are co-ed, and the emphasis is on participation first and competition second.
Activities take place after school. Community Service - Each month Nora students and teachers participate in a full day of community service at a local social service agency. So Others Might Eat, the Greentree Shelter, Martha's Table, the Capital Children's Museum, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Outdoor Programs - Every student at Nora is expected to participate in community building and personal empowerment developed through a variety of outdoor experiences, which include camping, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, caving, and high ropes courses.
