School Programs
Our programs are meant to aide children in developing their unique capabilities, to foster an enthusiasm for learning, to support the courage to tackle challenging tasks, and to build a respect and compassion for all living things. To that end, CBMS provides the following environments:
Toddler I, II and All Day: Three schedules are available: For Toddler I (18 to 24 months), 3 days per week, (Tuesday/Wednesday/ Thursday) from 8:30 to 11:45. For Toddler II (24- 36 months), 5 days per week is offered, with classes from 8:30 to 11:45 (half day) or from 8:30 to 4:00pm (All Day).*
Primary I, II and All Day: For children 3 to 6 years old. Classes are Monday through Friday. Children at this level must be independent in the restroom. Primary I: from 8:30 to 12:00; Primary II: from 8:30 to 3:00; All Day Primary: from 8:30 – 4:00*.
Elementary: For either of our 6 to 12 years old class or our 6 to 9 years old class, classes are Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 3:00.
Middle School: For students 12 to 14 years old. Classes are Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 3:15.
Note: We value the individual development of each child. Our teaching staff observes and monitors the progress of every student. Teachers will communicate with parents when children are ready to advance to the next program level. Children are moved when they exhibit the social, emotional, intellectual and physical readiness to do so.
Additional Activities
‘Early Bird’ and After School Enrichment programs are available for children over three years old. Here children are greeted as early as 7:30 each morning. Aftercare begins at 12:00 for the 3 and 4 year olds. These children stay for lunch, storytime and a nap (if required). Likewise, when class is dismissed at 3:00pm, the 5 to 11 year olds can spend the afternoon in a relaxed atmosphere of outdoor play, crafts and games. The A.S.E. program is available until 6:00 on days when school is in session.
Extra Curricular Classes are offered periodically in 8 to 10 week sessions. These are held after school and are designed for specific age groups and interests. Examples are Ballet, Violin, Piano, Girl Scouts, etc.
Summer Camp usually lasts for 4 or 5 weeks. Children can be enrolled by the week for half or full day sessions. The activities and outings change each year, but the underlying theme of growth in independence and responsibility in a prepared environment remains.
