Early Childhood
We expect all of our students to be advanced readers and enjoy advanced mathematics skills and confidence by the end of 3rd grade. Our curriculum in the early years emphasizes the mastery of numbers and letters, but what distinguishes our instructional program from others is its attention to the development of curiosity and self-regulation.
Our choice to use the “Tools of the Mind” Pre-K curriculum reflects this interest. Intentional play anchors our early grade curriculum and creates conditions in which young children are able to think in imaginative ways, and use sophisticated mental functions.
