Vaults
The vault of a cathedral is the ceiling or roof, supported by a series of arches and buttresses. The vault is what allows the cathedral structure with tall, thin walls and more windows, creating a sense of height and spaciousness. The “vaults” at DA make our program soar to the heights of classical education.
STEM Vault
- Robotics
- Computer Coding
- Keyboarding
- Engineering Process
- Math Probability, Graphing, Estimating, Predictions
- Health & Nutrition
Added science afternoons will allow students to more actively explore computers, robotics and computer-interactive science. Nature studies, where students get outside, look and observe nature, will be planned for Friday Spire days to supplement STEM vaults.
Humanities Vault
- Theatre Arts (acting, writing, and speech skills)
- Art (set, prop and costuming design)
- Music (music themed to student plays)
Theatre studies expose students to a whole new way of interacting with language arts stories. Kid’s Shakespeare scripts, acted out in class, reinforce vocabulary, reading and comprehension skills. Later in the senior year, students write scripts and direct one another, bringing their own creative stories to life from their imagination. Art & Music classes(on alternate days) teach the fundamentals of each respective subject. Students also create music and art for their own plays.
