meaningful. Students experience a variety of structured and non-structured
activities throughout the day, including lessons in reading, math, writing, science,
social studies, spelling, gym, Spanish, art, ballet, music and computers.

opposed to being lectured to, and Piaget's guiding concept that "play is the work of
the child."
