ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Kindergarten 3 – Grade 5 (K3 – G5)
Students focus on literacy skills reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Students learn the art of the English language through the 6+1 Trait Writing Model of instruction and Assessment and the Daily 5 literacy framework. Numeracy is a daily focus as students work to gain a balance between concepts and procedures, while developing sound mathematical practices. Science, social studies, visual art, music, physical education, and world language are instructed in a student-centered approach of practical hands-on learning. Technology is integrated throughout the curriculum.
