SPECIAL CLASSES

   

Music Program

Music is an inspiring program that begins in K1 with cheerful singing and energetic vocalizing. KII follows in the same spirit as K1.  Grades 1-5 continue with, among other things, seasonal songs, which includes preparation for the annual Christmas concert. Grade 6, 7 and 8 are more deeply involved in music theory, including note recognition as well as composer biographies. These grades will also have an introduction to theatrical arts, acting, and performing.

Physical Education

Classes are held weekly. Some of the activities include:

  • Baseball
  • Basketball
  • Kickball
  • Soccer
  • Other misc. games (Capture the Flag, Sharks and Minnows, etc...)

Spanish

Spanish classes are an introductory program. Students will have been exposed to the equivalent of first year Spanish. Classes are offered twice per week for grades 6 through 8. Enrichment classes are offered to grades 3 through 5 once per week.

Arts Program

Using many different forms of art and sculpture, the students here at ICS are encouraged to use their imagination in new and exciting ways. Students will work on special projects in addition to their weekly curriculum. Creativity is encouraged.

Computer Program

The ICS computer Program aims to teach students everything from general computer knowledge, such as identifying components of a computer, and running programs, to more complex skills like spreadsheets and databases.

Younger children enjoy playing educational games that teach basic math, spelling and grammar skills, while older students are challenged with Integrated Office Applications, object-oriented presentation design and development (using HyperStudio), graphic design, web design, and even some basic programming skills.

As well as learning a multitude of software applications, the students also practice their keyboarding skills on a regular basis.
