Programs That Enrich Student Learning

At the School in Rose Valley, we believe in nurturing the whole child through a rich and diverse array of specialized programs. We invite students to explore their passions through the lenses of visual art, music, science, language study, theater, wellness, and woodworking. These specialized classes are rooted in our Head, Hands, and Heart curriculum and emphasize our commitment to supporting diverse learners through a deeply collaborative and interdisciplinary framework. Each of these programs enriches our students’ learning experiences, helping them grow into well-rounded, curious, and capable individuals.
