While academics are a part of the curriculum they are not our only concern. The curriculum is a blend of activities that promote academic development, social interaction, and emotional growth. All children are encouraged to work at their own skill levels in a supportive environment. Our goal is for each child to strive to become a responsible, independent person. Through activities in the classroom, students are encouraged to develop task commitment and internal motivation.
Students also build interpersonal skills by working and communicating with peers and teachers.
This year-long study of the history of architecture is one written and developed by our staff with a U.S. Department of Education grant. Students are encouraged to develop their ideas orally through the use of Talents. Each student works individually with the teacher, choosing words to study. MATH Children use a hands-on approach to math known as Math Their Way . The class begins with free exploration of the math materials and, as proficiency develops, moves to sorting, patterning and work with numbers at the concept level.
