A DYNAMIC SCHEDULE FOR TENNIS PLAYERS

SPANISH, CATALAN, AND ENRICHMENT CLASSES

Our schedule offers middle school students the unique opportunity to grow academically, athletically and personally. While our tennis players train for four hours every day, our non-tennis players participate in a diverse PE program and a Change Makers class. All students alternate between academics and athletics at key moments in order to optimize performance in both areas.

All students take immersive Spanish classes for four hours per week. Students may additionally choose to take the Catalan curriculum classes in order to homologate their studies in Spain. Students not taking the Catalan curriculum classes will be enrolled in the enrichment program, which provides exciting and practical modules in entrepreneurship, touch typing, drama, philosophy, music, art, and nutrition. Enrichment modules typically last for nine weeks, and assessments are often student driven. Some examples of successful student driven initiatives are: initiating a small business; completing a touch typing marathon; organizing a healthy salad fair, and putting on a musical performance.
