The Owls Program

Owls symbolize thoughtful observation and growing wisdom. At this stage, students are ready to think more critically, articulate their ideas clearly, and apply skills independently.

The Owls Program increases academic rigor while maintaining hands-on, interdisciplinary learning. Students strengthen reasoning, collaboration, and communication skills in a supportive and engaging environment.

This stage is about deepening understanding — moving beyond surface knowledge into meaningful insight.

🌿 Deepening Understanding.  Thinking Wisely.

Songbirds Studio

Morning · Combined class, ages 6–12

A school-wide performing-arts ensemble open to ages 6–12, building confidence through theater, storytelling, and expressive movement. Students collaborate on a real production — reading scripts, finding their stage voice, and supporting one another from first rehearsal to final bow.

This is a combined, school-wide class, so enrollment is larger than a standard class and the ratio may exceed our usual 14:1 — additional staff are always present.

Cooking meets social studies as students travel the world through its food. Each unit pairs a global recipe with the geography, history, and traditions behind it — students prepare and taste dishes while mapping where they come from and why they matter.
