These are proven methods of deepening student learning through experience.
We strive to create an inclusive culture where students and budding artists can join together in a spirit of kindness, enthusiasm, respect and a celebration of their potential differences.
A great experience for the children. They got to use French outside of their regular class activities. Singing and dancing your way through curriculum. And we can’t forget the maple syrup lollipop!
