Primary Specials

Specialists in the following areas teach classes in science, primary art, music including instrumental music and orchestra, computers, library, physical education, dance and world languages.

These specialist classes support the girls learning through different intelligences and help them express their own individuality, gain confidence in their creativity and enhance their ability to express themselves in a variety of ways. Primary girls are encouraged to both experience the joy of performance and to develop aesthetic awareness.

Specialists come together on “Learning at Butler ” days. During “LAB” days primary students experience lessons in environmental science, art, social studies, mathematics, language arts, dance and music at Laurel’s beautiful 140-acre Butler Campus.

The specialty subjects are integrated into the Primary curriculum to enhance topics and activities presented in the classroom.
