Reading
Fundamental to our entire program is a belief in the transforming power of mastering the ability to read and read well.  Our phonics-based program instills the desire to read and ensures reading mastery at an early age.  Numerous studies show the ability to read well as the number one predictor of future educational success. Each of our primary grades participate in an Accelerated Reader program, which promotes critical thinking and reader comprehension.

Writing & Grammar
Our teachers work to promote writing across the curriculum, and pay particular attention to oral and written communication.  In each classroom, vocabulary building, grammar, and the mechanics of language are presented as integral parts of the language arts program.  Students participate in a variety of writing workshops that teach pre-writing, writing, conferencing, revising, and editing to promote proper writing skills.

Math
Out teachers use state curriculum standards to design units, lessons, and activities to lead students from the concrete to the abstract understanding of mathematical concepts.  Saxon Math and on-line resources are used and complemented with additional resources provided through hands-on manipulative sets.  Progress monitoring every nine weeks provides additional data by which teachers can remediate and/or accelerate students in mathematics content.  Students participate in a variety of math centers designed around math topics which provide additional practice and opportunities for enrichment.  An increased focus on math vocabulary and a guided mathematics instructional design allows for the use of small groups to assess student understanding of protocols and the ability to apply that understanding to the solving of real-life problems.

Science
Our activity-based hands-on science program encourages students to experiment, observe, analyze, research and discover for themselves the importance of the scientific process. Many methods are used to capture each child’s natural interests in science, including laboratory demonstrations, guest speakers, art activities, outdoor observations, written and oral reports, video streaming, computer research and field study.

Foreign Language
Each child in our Preschool through 3rd grade learn Spanish in our classrooms. Our fun and innovative approach helps students learn quickly and gives them tools to communicate with peers in the classroom and the community.

Physical Education
Our Physical Education Program is essential in educating students about healthy lifestyle choices and developing a life-long habit of physical activity. Students in all grades enjoy 30-45 minutes of physical education daily, whether instructional or playground time, in an age-appropriate, skills-building program.  Students are trained in physical fitness through conditioning, movement, manipulative skills, and game skills.
