Ages 6-9 years

The Lower Elementary program is comprised of children in first, second and third grades. The curriculum inspires students to become independent learners who appreciate and understand their world. Integrated studies provide students with unique and age-appropriate materials that help them to become accountable for their use of time, for accuracy in their work and to evaluate their strengths and areas of growth.

Our students have individualized work plans to allow them to use time effectively and to make appropriate choices. Students continue to work with concrete materials while building on this foundation to develop a more abstract understanding of various concepts in both Language and Math. Other relevant Language and Math work supplement this curriculum. Additional areas of study include Science, Social Studies, Geography, Spanish, Computer, Music, Art, Physical Education and Library. Students learn different methods of research in order to complete reports and presentations on a variety of topics. Planned field trips and visitors to our classroom support related areas of study.
