Our Orchestra and Choir program invites children to discover the power of music through creative and enriching experiences. As they explore instruments, singing, and teamwork, they develop confidence, concentration, time management, emotional expression, and a deeper connection to their creativity and cultural identity through the universal language of music.

And with the guidance of classical instructor Isabel Mester, their passion for musical notes ignites as they learn about instruments such as ukuleles, xylophones, keyboards, and recorders.

Our dance program invites children to express themselves through movement while exploring styles such as folk, flamenco, and hip-hop under the expert guidance of the group Los de Ida y Vuelta. In each class, they strengthen their confidence, promote their physical well-being, and celebrate their cultural roots as they learn, create, and shine in every performance, proudly sharing their progress and talent.

Led by coach Ricardo Montoya, the academy offers children ages 5 to 12 a space to learn, play, and grow through sports. Montoya, a USSF Y and A licensed professional, brings over 20 years of experience in youth, academic, and professional soccer, having played professionally in Costa Rica and coached in leagues in El Salvador and the United States.

We are also thrilled to share that we are partnering with Kids with Goals so that our Hapeville students can participate in a local soccer league.

As with Goldfish Swim, we support our families by covering the registration fee, giving our students the opportunity to learn, grow, work as a team, and enjoy new experiences.

The academy offers the following sessions:
For children ages 5 to 6: Participate in fun parent-child activities and friendly tournaments.

For children ages 7 to 12: Develop fundamental soccer skills in structured practice sessions.

Thanks to our partnership with Goldfish Swim School and the support of the city of Sandy Springs, our students develop an essential life skill: swimming. Through guided lessons and a safe environment, they strengthen their confidence, coordination, motor skills, and water safety—a safe, fun, and enriching learning experience.
