When school opens in the fall, the Crown Point Jr. Music Academy will be the first public school in San Diego County to feature the world-renowned Suzuki violin music program and Barnard Elementary will offer a Chinese language program.
The school is currently accepting students from preschool, kindergarten through 5th grade with specialized musical instruction at each grade level. The Suzuki program will commence in grades K-1, expanding to the entire academy by 2010. Parents and guardians will play a role in the learning process and even learn to play the violin themselves.
At Barnard, Mandarin Chinese will be available in kindergarten through fourth grade. Along with a challenging standard curriculum, students experience the Mandarin Chinese language through art, music, drama and physical education.
