Art
At Kalamazoo Country Day School, we believe that art is not only a creative outlet but also a way of learning fundamental skills and gaining a deeper understanding of the world we live in. Students will explore the art of drawing, painting, sculpture, and beyond!
Spanish
Our Spanish class is led by an experienced teacher who is passionate about helping students learn how to speak and write in Spanish. We teach the fundamentals of Spanish grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, with a focus on building practical language skills that can be used in everyday situations.
Aesthetic Education
Aesthetic Education (AE) for the Arts is a method of intentional questioning, inquiry and reflection into a topic as a foundational process when a ‘work of art’ is at the center of study. This groundwork allows a student to be prepared when viewing a work of art, they can then make connections and be fully present to appreciate the aesthetics of a piece of visual art, dance, musical performance or theater. With the ultimate goal of assimilating critical thinking into their everyday lives. The ability to be curious and notice is at the heart of AE, these transferable skills are what we foster across all subjects at KCDS.
Social/Emotional Learning
Our social and emotional learning class aims to help students better understand their thoughts and emotions, to become more self-aware, and to develop more empathy for others within their community and the world around them.
Physical Education
Physical education is essential to ensuring that young people have the tools and knowledge to stay healthy and active for a lifetime. Our PE classes are geared toward developing motor skills and physical fitness, as well as teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship.
