Exploration and Creation Classes

Exploration and Creation classes are elective classes that are offered in the afternoons. Classes are offered in areas such as the arts, sports, publishing of writings like the yearbook, psychology, electronics, cooking, and drama. Teachers determine what they want to offer and to what age group for these month-long classes. The choices are offered during the last week of the month preceding the classes, and students select their first, second and third choices. If a student doesn't get his first choice one month, the organizers try to honor this person’s first choice the following month. Sometimes the “teachers” are high school students, parents or members of the community. Often these are mixed-ages classes.

Exploration and creation classes alternate from month to month. One month Exploration classes will be offered on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays from 1:00 until 1:50, and the next month Creation classes will be offered on Thursday afternoons from 1:00 until 2:45 p.m. In other words, Exploration and Creation classes will be offered in alternate months. This allows for more flexibility and larger blocks of time for programs to use at their discretion.

Our goal this year is to post Exploration and Creation choices on the Web page (and in hard copy on the bulletin board over the mailboxes) during the beginning of the last week of the month preceding the classes to be offered. This will allow students and parents to talk about the choices and make thoughtful decisions.
