Special Programs

Students get professional artists to teach them about various art techniques and styles. 

Students receive dance lessons from professionals in the field of dance! The students are actively dancing, learning new skills and having fun! 

Our 3rd-5th 5th grade students enjoy Coding/Robotics Class. They learn how to create their own games and animations in Scratch, a powerful visual programming language and learning environment developed by MIT. They will employ basic, intermediate and advanced programming concepts as they complete increasingly complex projects. They will learn to think like a programmer and solve problems with code.

Students learn about theater through hands-on experience in the classroom! Fun activities abound, as students act out various scenarios and learn about stage direction and presence. 

Merced has partnered with the West Covina High School Robotics team (due to PTA-Sponsorship) to enrich our students education through interactive field trips. Merced students love being able to create, experiment, and learn more about STEM.
