Specialists

At Miquon, our specialist program extends the school’s core belief that children learn by doing. 

Part of the rhythm of every child’s day, our specialists offer rich opportunities to explore, create, and connect.

Across art, library, music, physical education, and science, students engage in hands-on learning by experimenting in the natural world, making and building, moving their bodies, performing together, and discovering new stories and ideas.

Students are encouraged to take risks, follow their curiosity, and collaborate with others. The outcome? Children develop creativity, resilience, and a lasting love of learning.

Time with Specialists

At Miquon, we prioritize time with specialists as part of each child's daily school experience.

Children begin participating in specials at age three, with time increasing as they grow. By fifth grade, students engage in art, music, physical education, and science twice each week.

We also offer “Open Specials” during Lunch Choice, when children can choose to return to specialist spaces to continue ongoing projects, explore new materials, or collaborate on larger-scale work with peers.
