Because of this student-centered commitment, Beauvoir children have the opportunity to be challenged, to pace themselves, and to excel in ways that fit their own unique development. It is important to keep in mind that because children learn in complex ways, subject matter at Beauvoir is integrated, that is, it often overlaps from one area to the next, connecting one topic to the next. Teachers strive to present new ideas that build on concepts already familiar to children, and set forth objectives that encourage them to stretch their experience while still taking joy in the process of learning. Teachers nurture and guide each child's emerging capabilities by creating a supportive and fun-filled classroom learning environment.
