Literacy – Our Spanish and English literacy classes focus on developing literacy skills such as phonetic decoding, increasing semantic, phonetic, and structural skills through conversation, presentation and writing.

Math – Our Math program combines SCRATCH (a programming language developed at MIT) with Robotics labs and other proprietary math curriculum. Students are provided opportunities to approach problems from a variety of angles and participate in thoughtful and varied practice including real world application of skills.

Science – Beginning with the Scientific Method, students explore all science concepts in a hands-on way, through project-based learning. Using this approach, students explore the world around them, applying scientific concepts every day.

History and Social Studies – Students begin by studying maps, graphs, and charts as a way to establish a strong foundation for the subject area. Then, students actively explore the world always connecting it to concrete experiences.

Creative Arts – Students explore various artists, composers, and works of art. They learn to concentrate on the characteristics and differences of paintings, sculptures, artists, and composers and can identify and describe instruments and their sounds.

Mandarin – Starting with the basics, students will begin to speak and acquire vocabulary and then progress to writing with the goal of effectively conversing with each other and their instructor.

Physical Education – Students practice physical fitness and healthy behaviors, geared toward enhancement of gross motor skills, teamwork, and introduction of basic sports techniques. Classes are taught in Spanish, on our outdoor field space or inside our gymnasium.
