Music
Music has lots of virtues—it is a way to help the students to express themselves, cooperate, be creative and develop critical thinking. Our musical activities are adapted to each grade, and help the students to be more comfortable and free to express themselves through musical creation with instruments, writing songs, or rapping.
Music brings people together, and the end of the year show is a perfect example of this. Students understand all the challenges of the creative process by being directly part of it and the biggest reward is sharing all the work they have done with their family and friends.
