The importance of cultural programs in schools is growing. It creates a sense of belonging and national pride, teaches tolerance, offers options to individuals who are not fluent in English, allows for personal development and prepares students for work and life. Our cultural programs help students develop a global perspective, their personal values and the tools to achieve them. Students are encouraged to assume leadership and positive ethical behavior, both within our school community and beyond. We offer many opportunities for students to learn about other cultures, traditions, beliefs and languages through visits to local museums; guided excursions and performances; field trips; as well as through participation in our academic curriculum.
