Extracurricular Programs
Our school offers a number of extracurricular programs during regular school hours, as well as several exciting after school programs.
On-site classes during school hours
​
Each of our programs has been designed to bring in more academic and artistic learning on top of GMA’s regular Montessori curriculum.
​
Music
Onsite Music class is scheduled on Monday mornings, hosted by Keiki Music. Our students learn rhythmic dance and how to use and take care of different instruments. Some of the instruments that students will be working with include rhythm sticks, hand drums, jingle bells, triangles, and egg shakers and so on.
Art
Art is another highlighted program at GMA. We have a rigorous art curriculum that teaches students about the color wheel, finding complementary colors, and different mediums of art such as water paint, tissue art, paints, and sculpting.
Dance
Each week, Miss Luana, a professional children dance instructor, comes to GMA and teaches each class a 30-minute dance lesson during the school day.
French and Spanish
Our weekly French and Spanish classes are happening on Thursday and Friday in the year, which offers our students an opportunity to learn Spanish through story reading, singing, finger playing and more.

On-site classes after school hours (or weekends/ optional /open to public)
​Math
We offer a unique Montessori-based math program for students from ages 4 to 12. Our innovative teaching method combines Montessori learning (using Visual-aids and Hands-on tools) with Mental Problem-solving Skill and also personalized it to each individual child’s learning pace and understanding level.

Mandarin
