School Notes
Children learn in multiage instructional groups based upon
research on child development. We recognize that children`s
cognitive, physical, social and emotional abilities develop on a
timeline and in a sequence that is unique for each
child.Rather than teaching a one-size-fits-all curriculum
that targets the middle, our teachers use a variety of approaches
to reach every student, no matter his/her age, strengths or
learning style. Every student is challenged to reach great
heights.
We utilize a theme-based curriculum that engages children in
authentic hands-on learning activities.
Children learn and grow in anenvironment in which a high
priority is placed on respect and caring for one another.
