Summer programs under the direction and supervision of our own professionals are designed for students to develop and enrich their talents, spark creativity and wonder, and provide the time to delve deeper into their spirits. Our Adventures in the Arts program is designed for campers to use the different avenues of the arts and sports as channels to build life experiences.
At the age of 14, Conchita graduated from the "Conservatorio Internacional de Musica" in Havana, Cuba as a professor of piano and music theory. She continued her music education with renowned professors and artists Joaquin Nin, Ernesto Berumen and Jasha Fishermann, and went on to become a concert pianist in Mexico, Cuba and the U.S.
CEA students look inside themselves and discover who they are. Your child is encouraged to take chances. He or she may stumble, but they learn to not give up; they learn to keep trying. This guided process of self-discovery instills in your child's heart a resilience and confidence that will last a lifetime.
Students may be inducted into honor societies in 6th grade. However, their academic performance, community service, and involvement with the school throughout their lower school years may influence when they are inducted. The National Junior Honor Society is a national organization founded on five basic pillars: scholarship, citizenship, character, service, and leadership.
