The Creek Program
Social Emotional
With our SEL curriculum we provide the tools to support our students with self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, relationship skills, and social awareness.
Homework Support
The Creek provides a time for students to work on their homework during after school hours. During homework time we provide homework support as needed.
Team Building
Our daily indoor games focus on teamwork and character building while fostering positive friendships. Whether during a quick game or a large group game, we help our students socialize and problem solve together.
STEAM
Everyday offers the opportunity for our students to participate in hands-on activities such as arts, science, technology, engineering, gardening, cooking, drama, and more. Activities that prepare students and give them skills they need to problem solve and understand while they gather and evaluate evidence to make their own informed decisions.
Physical Education
Everyday we offer a variety of outdoor activities. Our curriculum aims to develop the students' knowledge, skills, and confidence. Having access to an array of games and active activities helps students with health, wellness, and concentration.
Student Voice
Students actively participate in planning activities. Student voice gives students the opportunity to explore their passions, shape their educational experiences, and increase their engagement in learning.
