Social studies acquaint children with the world in which they live, in ever widening circles. This begins with an emphasis on community and culminates with an exploration of historic Boston. The mathematics curriculum follows the guidelines of the University of Chicago Everyday Math program. Science lessons throughout the grades encourage critical thinking and exploration. The curriculum ranges from hatching eggs to astronomy, from awareness of the senses to simple mechanical principles.
Students learn to hypothesize and test their theories.
In all areas, students learn to link what they read in books with what they see around them. Thinking critically about their experience, they learn how to learn. Students can confidently step from this well-rounded beginning into Middle School, the next level of Maimonides caring community.
