Chapel - ATC students meet twice a month in the sanctuary for a short chapel service designed to inspire and build upon their faith in God. Chapel is led by the pastoral staff of Northside Fellowship Church.

Special Events - Our students participate in a variety of events through the year including our Fall Showcase, Spring Show, Homestead Day and Outside Fun Day.

Visual Art - Our art program is about the process. We explore the fundamentals of shape, color, pattern, texture, design and composition. ATC students are provided with opportunities to work with a variety of materials to create their own unique pieces.

Music - Each week students have opportunities to actively experience music using a variety of techniques and instruments. Music is often played during the day, as research suggests this helps the brain to respond in mathematical ways.

Science Exploration - Students will discover how science plays a part in their world. Some favorite topics include: incline planes, pulleys and levers, friction, life cycles, gravity, force and motion and healthy habits.

Fitness - This enrichment class is a great precursor to any type of athletic involvement and an excellent way to work on gross motor skills. It is a fun mix of music, stretching, tumbling, games, and creative expression.
