-
Foundational skills are critical in the lower elementary ages, and our curriculum emphasizes acquiring those skills in a way that aligns with the developmental needs of students.
-
As upper elementary students lean into the foundation built in the lower grades, skills begin to focus on fluency and comprehension, with a greater emphasis on application.
-
With students preparing for high school, content and tasks become more complex, bringing in high-order thinking skills and deepening connections between foundational skills and creative application.
