Grades 1-4: The Age of Imagination and Interests 12:1 Student-teacher ratio, class size of 24 with two teachers. The program is 5 days/week with an early release during parent-teacher conferences. The elementary child has reached the stage of development where they like to know the cause and effect of everything surrounding them. The lower elementary child begins to develop abstract thinking skills and imagination with the guidance of the Five Great Lessons. Our program continues to feature small group and one-on-one lessons, with a focus on building a community within this group.
