ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM
Beginning in Kindergarten and building through fifth grade, students are immersed in a rigorous, vertically aligned curriculum that balances mastery of core subjects with critical thinking and creativity. Our new math program equips students to move seamlessly from concrete to abstract problem-solving, while iReady provides personalized support in both math and reading—meeting each child where they are and helping them grow beyond grade-level standards. Starting in third grade, our departmentalized model introduces students to rotating classes, fostering independence, responsibility, and readiness for middle school. Throughout the journey, teachers maintain high expectations, celebrate student success, and partner closely with families to cultivate confident, curious learners prepared for the challenges ahead.
