The study of different religions and their traditions of faith develop in the child a respect for the differences of others.

Folk, classical, and ballroom dances are part of the program.
Scouting provides a venue to learn basic outdoor survival skills: knot tying, tent pitching, mapping, compass reading, orienteering, first aid, outdoor cooking, camping, and others. The OB Montessori Brotherhood of Scouts is programmed after Lord Baden Powell’s worldwide scouting movement.
