Students progress through the program at their own rate and are rewarded through personal goals. The spelling component is part of the writing program, which stresses accountability and proofreading in everyday writing. High frequently used word lists are utilized in activities and classroom assignments. The goal of the spelling program is to master most commonly used words and to provide skills to build other words. The writing component consists of spelling and grammar through the use of the Daily Oral Language.
Writing is developed from simple sentences to exploring styles of writing.
Informally, students write letters, notes, and record their thoughts in diaries and journals. All students will apply what they have learned in the Language Arts program to other areas of the curriculum and everyday life skills. Within these categories, the curriculum, beginning in kindergarten and first grade, introduces the students to number identification, addition and subtraction, digital and conventional clocks, calendars, basic geometric shapes, reading and interpreting simple graphs, recognizing basic coins and their value, patterning, and problem solving to build a strong mathematical foundation. In the second and third grade years, mathematical functions including multiplication and division facts and decimals are added to the foundation established through the kindergarten and first grade curriculum. In fourth grade, double digit multiplication and long division are introduced.
