Our program builds a strong foundation for future success. Expectations for high student achievement are coupled with a strong focus on building a positive self-concept. A strong emphasis on communications skills is found in the elementary classroom. Students develop skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. A literature-based approach is used in the elementary classrooms.
Students read a wide variety of materials individually, in small groups, and whole class.
Mathematics is another major component of elementary curriculum. Students develop an understanding of numbers, patterns, geometric ideas, measurement skills and learn to construct tables and graphs. These mathematical concepts are intertwined with problem-solving and critical thinking. Students are actively involved in their learning to promote understanding. The power of mathematics is developed and nurtured through the use of manipulatives.
