Atala offers a wide range of curricular activities at no additional charge. Where many public and private schools are cutting subjects like art, music, drama, debate, and physical education, we know that by having these classes in our school curricula and not just relegated to an after-school program, our children build on the skills they learn in these courses to improve their work in math, science, and reading.
Ms. Maritza Castellon-Colon is our amazing drama teacher. She works with children from 1st through 8th grade on many aspects of theatre and drama.
Mr. Jason Bullis is our public speaking and debate teacher. This course is required of all our middle school students to help better prepare them for high school presentations and public speaking events.
Mr. Jose Molina is our art teacher. He cover topics such as the color spectrum, painting, sketching, sculpture, and recycled art.
Ms. Laurie is our amazing music teacher. She works with all our children from toddler through middle school. They learn to appreciate many different styles of music.
Ms. Andrea Palmer, Ms. Maria Cabrera, and Mr. Jose Molina are our energetic PE teachers. They teach physical education to our elementary and middle school students, including team sports, physical fitness, and sportsmanship.
