Learning extends beyond the curriculum with opportunities in arts, technology, physical education, and character education. Children create pottery in art classes, learn keyboarding in the computer lab, become fit through aerobics, and learn tolerance through character lessons. Cultural experiences bring the world onto this campus for student, teacher and staff enrichment. Ballet Folklorico, classical guitar concerts, jazz bands, and theatrical productions offer opportunities that heighten the impact of the school experience. Supportive adults facilitate the learning process, design and implement innovative initiatives, and maintain focus on child-centered learning.
Walnut Hill builds on each child's strengths.
Qualified faculty and specialized programs are available to ensure that individualized needs are addressed. Whether structuring active learning through play for young children using developmentally appropriate practices, providing teacher-directed projects for talented and gifted students, or enriching the reading program by developing a Literacy Library, children's learning flourishes. Inclusion of special needs learners in general education classrooms is an excellent example of promoting a healthy peer climate. Children previously separated now grow up as friends. The Meadows Foundation is providing a specifically designed playground to further promote inclusion for young children.
