Early grades in the Lower School focus on language arts and math. Language Arts are emphasized teaching phonics, sight words, reading and writing along with the Signatures series of stories and spelling lists. We use Saxon math and other math manipulatives in each class. Students are given many opportunities to work in small groups and one-on-one with their teachers. Work is kept fun with plenty of games, puzzles and brainteasers! Our older children mentor younger book buddies as they read together each week.
Classes attend Theatre IV productions, perform for Grandparents’ Day, and enjoy field trips.
During the Lower School years, students develop study skills, report writing skills and organizational skills using planners. Creative writing, higher mathematics, research/ scientific process and increasing personal responsibility are emphasized as students progress academically and emotionally. Enrichment continues with art, music, computer lab, physical education and Spanish classes.
