The Early Elementary School curriculum meets the needs of children from preschool through grade two. Curriculum is organized into interdisciplinary units that enhance the children's ability to connect school and real life. Children learn through inquiry. Units of study or themes are constructed by teaching teams to meet the needs of children at each grade level.
Individual projects are an outgrowth of questions asked by children.
Research based on these questions is conducted on an individual or class basis. Projects reflecting their research are created and accompanied by written descriptions of the inquiry process. Science, Spanish, physical education and the arts are woven throughout the curriculum and are taught both within the classroom and in special classes. Teams of teachers from each grade level work together to coordinate learning throughout the day.
