Science is based on a hands-on approach to learning and discovering. Social studies deals with basic historical facts, current events and developing an awareness of individuality. The curriculum provides students with the basic skills needed in the areas of language arts, math, science and social studies. A teacher and an aide teach students in self-contained classrooms of 17 students. In addition to the core subjects, the curriculum also includes art, music, library, physical education, computer science and French and Spanish courses.
Students also participate in several field trips throughout the year to enrich their program.
The family atmosphere of the School encourages parents to become involved in a variety of ways to benefit the School overall in fundraising projects or to benefit the children directly by volunteering to assist the faculty with special programs. School spirit is strong because of the efforts made for the children in terms of program and personal attention. 2000 Highland School.
