Reading and writing are emphasized throughout the curriculum. The specialty subjects of Reading through Art, and Music support our commitment to the teaching and learning of reading. A second important emphasis is teaching and learning math. Math is taught by classroom teachers and is supported by two specialists. Hands-on approaches with manipulatives are used.
All teachers help our children learn how science is a part of our whole life and experience.
HIQ Computer Lab has complete access to the Internet. In addition to the lab, the library is fully accessible to the Internet and available to every class for research on the Web. Every pod and all grades have Internet access. Our goal is to infuse technology into all areas of curriculum. A grant for Project Achieve helps teachers with lesson planning, discipline data collection, parent contact and other tasks.
