January 2012 Track Times

Track times are the recreational activities offered at NEXT that you get to pick! 

Paradigm Players is partnering with NEXT to offer a drama track, designed to be fun for the students while teaching them acting techniques. But more importantly, they are designed to increase the student’s confidence, their ability to work with and trust in others, promote good posture, full body control and provide invaluable experience in public speaking. In short, Paradigm Players assists your child with the skills and experience necessary to succeed, not only in drama but in life.

Studies have shown that children who are involved in the performing arts have higher levels of academic performance and self-esteem. The performing arts allow them to express their thoughts and feelings as well as fostering creativity and developing their ability to solve complex problems.
