This class goes hand-in-hand with our language arts/reading classes and forms the basis for studying the crafts of writing and public speaking. Students enrolled in this class will build their writing skills by developing techniques related to several creative genres. Students present their work orally in front of the class in order to develop confidence and ease in speaking publicly. Each student is coached in voice quality, projection, enunciation, expression, eye contact, and content of their presentation.
These highly popular Critical Thinking classes have three levels: lower, middle, and upper, and designed specifically for students who want to improve their logical and spatial thinking abilities.

A private lesson is 1:1 student instruction with an educator. The class will be individualized to the student’s specific needs and personal ability level. Private lessons can be scheduled with a specific teacher but are subject to the teacher’s availability.
A shared private lesson is a 1:2 teacher to student ratio. The class is individualized for the students’ specific and personal needs and ability levels. We must approve the students admitted to the shared-private to ensure students are on similar levels. Shared private lessons can be scheduled with a specific teacher and are subject to availability.
A semi-private lesson is a closed group with no more than a 1:4 teacher to student ratio. We must approve the students admitted to the semi-private lessons to ensure each member of the group are at similar levels. The curriculum will be determined by the specific needs of the entire group. No students will be allowed to join a semi-private class without approval of the enrichment director.
Our group lessons are teacher led with a maximum of 1:10 teacher to student ratio. Students in the group are working at the same level and have the opportunity to benefit from peer modeling, discussion, group work, and personal attention.
