As children move into the elementary years, the curriculum becomes more structured, while still maintaining an emphasis on creativity and holistic development. The core subjects are complemented by a rich array of creative arts and outdoor learning, making education an exciting and integrated experience.
Core Academic Subjects:
- Mathematics: The math curriculum is designed to help students develop a deep understanding of number sense, patterns, and problem-solving skills. We use concrete materials and visual aids to help children grasp abstract concepts like multiplication, fractions, and geometry.
- Language Arts: Reading, writing, and oral communication skills are developed through a variety of activities. Literature circles, creative writing, poetry, and storytelling allow students to explore language in a fun and engaging way.
- Science: A hands-on approach to science allows students to explore the natural world. Through experiments, observations, and field trips, students discover topics like plants and animals, weather patterns, earth sciences, and the human body.
- Social Studies: Students explore history, geography, and community, with a focus on global citizenship and understanding cultural diversity. Topics like local history, traditions, and sustainability provide valuable context for children to connect with their environment.
