Ukulele & More- Kawika Sause has taught with HAAS Seaview for many years and patiently instructs students in learning chords, strum patterns, movement and creativity.

Circus Arts- Ever dreamed of running away with the circus? Join Maja in this circus elective where students will get to explore a variety of disciplines such as acrobatics, juggling, unicycling and stilting. Maja has studied at circus schools across Europe and is excited to share her love for circus arts with the students at SPACE. Circus class will be performing at the end of semester student showcases. Class attendance will be mandatory for the last 6 weeks of class in order to participate in a showcase. Circus class is a social and team building experience & one of our most popular electives.
Students in Auntie Bonnie's circus class will be exploring a multitude of circus arts ranging from tumbling, partner/group acrobatics, balance arts, clown games, juggling and other props. We will be learning these disciplines in 2-3 week units before focusing on the next discipline. The last 6 weeks of class are mandatory for anyone that wishes to perform in the student showcase.

Science class-offered by grade levels. Our staff will be instructing students using our core science curriculum, Mystery Science and Amplify Science. Mystery Science capitalizes on the curiosity of kids and builds content based on the wow in the world around them. They craft explanations around real kid questions. Kids are viewed as active explorers who learn not by listening and consuming, but by discussing, by building and observing hands-on models, and by writing about what they learn. Amplify Science is a phenomenon based curriculum blending hands-on investigations, literacy-rich activities, and interactive digital tools to empower students to think, read, write, and argue like real scientists and engineers.
Seaview Scoop -The Seaview Scoop will be offered to students grade 3-6, and is the premiere of the Seaview campus school newspaper!
