Special Programs
Trevose Day School offers a variety of weekly special programs to ensure that your child receives a well-balanced education.
PE & Yoga
Trevose Day School’s physical education program features countless activities that help build teamwork skills, sportsmanship and character. Eight weeks of yoga helps students develop better body awareness, control, flexibility and coordination. At Trevose, PE is all about developing healthy habits that last a lifetime.
French
At Trevose Day School, we believe that language acquisition skills are highest in young children, so French is introduced at the First Program level. From “Frere Jacques” to the sounds of Debussy, from hand-made French flags to our Cezanne-styled paintings – all things French come to life at Trevose. Role-playing encourages daily conversational patterns and visually-cued activities build self-esteem. We embrace the French culture with a great sense of fun, culminating with a year-end French bread “pique-nique” to celebrate our accomplishments and look forward to continued studies. Vive la France!
Music
During music, students are provided with opportunities to demonstrate elements of timbre, rhythm and volume through the use of songs, body movements and instruments. The students are continually exposed to a variety of songs from different cultures and time periods. Older students learn to read basic traditional notation. They also create and perform a variety of music using basic rhythmic and melodic patterns.
Chess
Children love games. Spending hours immersed in logical thinking, chess motivates students to become willing problem solvers in school and life. The chess program at Trevose helps improve memory and builds self-esteem. Children in kindergarten through fifth grade begin with the basics and learn increasingly challenging scenarios. Instruction is tailored to individual needs. Working with a renowned chess master, Trevose students experience having a world-class expert on site. Scholastic tournaments for individuals and schools are held throughout the year.
