Songbirds Studio

Annual Cost $2,250 | Monthly $250  (Sep-May)

Songbirds Studio builds confidence and communication skills through performance, storytelling, and expressive arts.

Students explore:

• Dramatic play and character development
• Script reading and storytelling
• Stage movement and vocal projection
• Collaborative production projects
• Creative writing for performance

Each semester culminates in a live performance experience, giving students the opportunity to share their work with peers and families in a supportive environment.

The focus is on confidence-building, teamwork, and growth through the creative process. We emphasize collaboration, resilience, and creative expression — valuing the journey of learning and preparation over a polished final product.

Through rehearsal and performance, students develop communication skills, empathy, and the courage to step into the spotlight.

This is a combined, school-wide class that brings together students ages 6–12 to collaborate toward a shared final performance experience. Because students work collectively as an ensemble across multiple age groups, class enrollment may be larger than our typical courses, and the student-to-teacher ratio may exceed our standard 14:1 ratio. Additional instructional support and assisting staff are present to ensure students receive appropriate guidance, supervision, and meaningful participation throughout rehearsals and performances.

Passports to Plates is an interdisciplinary cooking and social studies class where students explore cultures around the world through food, geography, and tradition.

Students travel across continents as they learn how climate, agriculture, history, and cultural traditions influence what people eat and how communities share meals.

• Preparing recipes from cultures around the world
• Exploring geography, traditions, and global communities
• Learning kitchen safety and foundational culinary skills
• Measuring, mixing, and following multi-step directions
• Connecting food systems to environment and culture
• Collaborating and sharing meals together

Cooking becomes a gateway to global learning as students build curiosity, respect, and understanding of diverse cultures. The focus is on exploration, collaboration, and real-world learning — helping students experience how food connects people across the world.
