ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FOR PRE-K THROUGH 8TH GRADE
Math: Our online interactive Moby Max program is available to any child PreK-8. From arithmetic to algebra, fractions to measurement, Moby Max features exercises and skills that help reinforce and individualize classroom lessons at home.
Library/Reading: We have classroom libraries. St. Nicholas believes that reading is very important. Research shows that reading improves a child’s ability to concentrate, exposes them to new concepts and discoveries and broadens their horizons. We require students to read for thirty minutes every evening.
Technology: Starting as early as Pre-K, all St. Nicholas students have access to age-appropriate technology. Our STEAM lab gives students the opportunity to use their basic computer skills and offers them a place to complete assignments that require access to the web – offering them a first-hand experience in effecting data research methodologies.
Language: Every child from grade K-8 is required to participate in the study of a foreign language. We offer the choice of Ukrainian or Spanish.
Music: All students enjoy weekly musical instruction. Lower grade teachers integrate songs and music throughout the day. Our all-school, weekly student-led assemblies and the school’s annual plays in the winter and spring draw heavily on these skills.
Physical Education: All students have twenty-five minutes of recess daily and two 45-minute periods of gym per week.
Lunchtime: This is an important time to refuel our bodies and socialize with friends. Students can buy a hot lunch or may bring a sack lunch from home. Healthy eaters are better learners. Pre-school and kindergarten students eat lunch prior to the older students, allowing our younger students their own time together to eat, play and socialize.
