Elementary School

Senior kindergarten serves as a bridge to academic learning, with a focus on reading instruction, the writing process, and developing math skills. Children begin the Fundations program, which emphasizes phonics and word analysis skills and continues through third grade. The year also marks the introduction of a Singapore-based approach to math, a workshop model for reading and writing, and twice-weekly science in the science lab.

The acquisition of basic skills and opportunities for personal growth are at the heart of the curriculum for first grade and second grade. An emphasis on reading, literature, and language arts helps develop a love of books. Science is taught through a discovery-based approach. In social studies, children learn concepts, acquire map skills, and develop an appreciation for their heritage and other cultures.

Third through sixth grade students build independence as they deepen their skills across the curriculum. Language arts emphasizes daily reading, creative and expository writing, and independent learning, while math challenges students to think critically, solve problems, and understand mathematical concepts. Science encourages students to observe, investigate, and draw conclusions, while social studies expands from U.S. history to a broader global perspective.

Students continue to explore their interests through music, art, drama, French, woodshop, and daily physical education, while developing confidence through regular public speaking opportunities. In fifth and sixth grades, classes become departmentalized to prepare students for secondary school, fostering greater independence and responsibility while maintaining the support of a homeroom community.
