Academic Programs
Fine Arts
Our Fine Arts program inspires creativity through hands-on projects influenced by renowned artists and styles from around the world. Students explore painting techniques, color, and self-expression while developing their own unique artistic voice.
Throughout the year, children create individual and class projects, culminating in a special family art exhibition. This experience celebrates their creativity while supporting and enriching fine arts education at our school.
Science
Our science program encourages curiosity and exploration through hands-on discovery. Children ask questions, investigate, and learn through meaningful interactions with their environment and peers.
Teachers observe and guide each child’s learning, adapting activities to support growth and deepen understanding. Through these experiences, students build critical thinking skills, expand their knowledge, and develop a strong foundation across all areas of development.
Mathematics
Our math program builds early skills through hands-on learning, games, and creative activities. Using manipulatives, students explore counting, shapes, patterns, measurement, and problem-solving. We introduce key concepts like number sense, geometry, and data in fun, meaningful ways—helping children develop confidence and a strong foundation in math.
STEAM
Our STEAM program (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) engages students through hands-on, real-world experiences. Children explore, build, and create while learning how STEAM connects to everyday life.
Through interactive lessons inspired by real careers, students develop problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration skills. Our program encourages curiosity and prepares children with the foundational skills needed for future learning and innovation.
Music
Our music program introduces children to rhythm, sound, and expression through hands-on exploration of instruments. Students experience a variety of musical styles, including jazz, blues, and rock & roll, while playing drums, xylophones, tambourines, and more. This engaging approach builds creativity, confidence, and a love for music.
English Language Arts
At Shenker Academy, we nurture strong language and literacy skills through daily, meaningful interactions. Students develop vocabulary, engage in conversations, and build confidence in early reading and writing. Through activities that support letter recognition, listening, and comprehension, children also gain print awareness and a lasting appreciation for books.
American Sign Language
Our sign language program is incorporated into daily learning, helping children communicate through both words and gestures. Students are introduced to basic signs through songs, routines, and interactive activities, supporting language development and self-expression. This approach also encourages inclusion, confidence, and a deeper understanding of communication.
Spanish
Our Spanish program introduces a new language through playful, immersive experiences. Children are exposed to everyday words and phrases through music, storytelling, movement, and interactive activities.
With a focus on communication and cultural awareness, students begin to understand and use Spanish in a way that feels natural, engaging, and enjoyable.
Hebrew
Our Hebrew program introduces children to the language through hands-on, engaging experiences. Students learn the Hebrew alphabet while building vocabulary through songs, movement, and interactive activities.
Lessons also include holidays and traditions, helping children connect language to meaningful experiences while gaining confidence in early expression.
