Art Corps
ART CORPS™ is a comprehensive, developmental art curriculum that teaches art fundamentals by bringing process oriented hands-on art experiences to the classroom. Since 1990 the ART CORPS™ program has been taught at several San Diego area schools. It is uniquely designed to provide onsite workshops that prepare parent volunteers to go into the classroom and provide art lessons to children in grades K-8. No art skills or background is necessary to volunteer to teach. The program provides wonderful instruction and materials that make teaching and helping in the classroom rewarding and enjoyable.

Debate Club
The Stone Ranch Debate Club is an after-school enrichment program sponsored by the PTA in which students learn how to participate in the formal contest of argumentation between teams. More importantly, students appreciate debate as a way to discuss controversial issues without descending to insult, emotional appeals, or personal bias. Our students learn research skills, how to analyze and evaluate arguments, and how to defend positions they may or may not personally believe in. Debate Club helps to expand each child’s critical thinking skills while exposing them to age-appropriate topics currently discussed in our society.
Each year we enroll approximately sixty 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders to work on important elements of debate. This year Debate Club will run virtually with pre-recorded lessons sent to the students weekly.
