Academic Enrichment

 

STEAM

Our teachers integrate monthly STEAM activities into our curriculum. Some fun activities that our students love are the annual "Egg Drop" from the second story, Pumpkin Catapults, and Apple Bridge Building, PLUS MANY MORE! 



Music Program

Our elementary music program is the highlight of the student's week. Each class has an hour-long music class where they learn the fundamentals of music in a fun and exciting way. The students perform an annual Christmas concert which includes singing as well as acting. Students are also exposed to orchestra presentations and choir performances from various choirs. 4th-6th graders also learn the flutophone  throughout the year and continue building those skills year after year. 

 

MAD SCIENCE 

We offer an after-school Mad Science program during the winter/spring months. Students learn science concepts through interactive experiments. 

 

Enrichment Programs

At Bethel, we understand the importance of outside experiences and the impact those experiences have on learning. We offer many different types of enrichment programs including programs through the Orange County Department of Education, Interactive Traveling Museums, "Walk Through California" and "Walk Through the American Revolution" presentations and many more! 

 

Technology Instruction

Most elementary classrooms are equipped with Interactive Whiteboards as well as a 1:1 chrome book ratio per student. Students utilize the "Keyboarding Without Tears" typing program beginning in 1st grade and are fluent in typing skills by the time they leave 6th grade. Students also become familiar with the use of Google Docs as well as other supplemental programs such as Mad Dog Math and Readworks.
