Elementary

The English language is central to the way in which our elementary students understand and appreciate their world, and to the ways in which they participate socially and culturally. Our language arts program inspires students to read for pleasure, learn new information, share their thoughts and feelings, and speak confidently.

By focusing on intentional instruction, along with extended periods of practice, students will see growth in their reading, writing, and listening proficiency. Students choose from five components each day: Read to Self, Work on Writing, Word Work, Read to Someone and Listening to Reading.

Our curriculum is designed to allow students to connect with, build upon, and refine their skills in numbers, functions, geometry, patterns and algebra. Our problem-solving approach not only helps each student to learn a specific concept, but to really grasp the process by which they learned it.

Purpose, humility, courage, compassion, persistence, discernment, service, curiosity and connection… These are the nine qualities we instill in all our students, from their early childhood years on.

Co-curricular activities offer students the motivation to learn, build confidence, develop their character, grow physically, and nurture their creativity. Students who are involved in co-curricular opportunities also become more invested—socially and academically—in their overall school experience.

A strong partnership with parents ensures a better education for their children. Through multiple formal and informal parent events, and regular communication throughout the school year, we keep parents up-to-date on various aspects of education, vital for their child’s success.
