Children are immersed in the use of language on a daily basis and there is a strong link between reading and writing. Children are taught the strategies to increase their success and independent skills in both areas. Parents are also encouraged to be actively involved in their children's literacy. Mathematics, Science and Social Studies are taught using a blended approach of hands-on activities and traditional pencil to paper tasks. Ongoing training and curriculum development provide teachers with the tools and resources needed to address increasing academic standards and further foster creativity and exploration.
Specialists teach art, music and physical education.
The physical education program emphasizes developing strong bodies and fun through non-competitive games and activities. Music and art are seen as essential to the growth of the whole child. All students have an instructional, weekly library class. The library is well stocked with children's literature and reference materials, and our librarian supervises the media program in the school computer lab. Classrooms are equipped with computers and the latest in software and new products are available to students and staff to expand technological discovery.
