Curriculum

Kindergarten

Many of our schools have a private Kindergarten program led by certified teachers, who fill each day with reading, math, science, health and social studies. Reading studies are founded on Scott-Foresman's Reading Street, which is designed to engage, motivate and boost students' confidence. Our choice for phonics - Fundations - makes learning to read fun and lays a foundation for life-long literacy. Plus, it also includes a spelling supplement, complements the Reading Street program and meets federal learning standards. Our math curriculum follows the problem-based, interactive learning methods of the Addison-Wesley Math Series. And our HighScope preschool curriculum, which is based on active learning (Plan, Do, Review), is integrated into daily schedules.

Learning Standards

Learning standards offer a baseline for academic growth. Our Kindergarten teachers use a learning standards checklist that reflects all elements of the Common Core State Standards as one of their assessment tools. Ongoing and continual assessment allows for each child's academic needs to be met. Teachers are able to reinforce learning when they understand the needs of each child.
