The scientific method is then introduced, encouraging observation and record keeping. Every class has a semester of health instruction. We encourage a love of books. We want our students to appreciate that knowledge comes from many sources. Curriculum topics are supported by an extensive videotape collection.
Computers are a particularly valuable tool for students with learning differences.
Computer instruction takes place once a week in the Computer Lab and throughout the day in the individual classrooms, each of which is equipped with computers and printers. Every other spring the fourth floor in the Elementary School is transformed into a rain forest. Vines and animals form a canopy in the classrooms. Students study the people, plants, animals and products of the rain forest and present their findings to parents and the other classes in the school. Nature's Classroom Middle School students and the four older classes of the Elementary School gain a firsthand look at the natural world through a total living and educational experience at Nature's Classroom in Connecticut.
