The Montgomery County Public Schools Instructional Program addresses both content and process. Teachers use phonetic and literature based approaches to instruct basic skills and develop a love for reading. We focus on developing concepts and skills for using numbers, geometry, and measurement in reasoning, problem solving, and making applications to the physical world. Problem solving is central to this program.
Progress is monitored by a computerized system which provides biannual reports on student progress.
Science Our program is designed by the National Science Foundation. Experiments, data collection, and analysis of information are key elements. Arts - Visual, Musical, and Physical Students receive a minimum of one class per week in art, music, and physical education. Students in grades 4 and 5 may participate in instrumental music and chorus.
