Elementary School
(Grades 1 – 6)
Come on in, but don’t leave your senses behind—your sense of humor, your sense of wonder, your sense of curiosity. You’re going to need it in our classrooms. Utilizing captivating (and fun!) literature in the Elementary School fosters a love of reading that students will carry with them for a lifetime. Novel studies provide a springboard for higher–level thinking. Discovery, investigation, experimentation, and exploration through math, science, and social studies open up worlds of opportunity for real–life application and imaginative creativity. Something new and exciting is happening every day in the educational journey of our Elementary School students.
After all, learning in the Elementary School is all about broadening perspectives and developing minds. It’s about studying specific skills while also mastering foundational strategies. And, above all, it’s about developing a love of learning . . . for life!
