ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CURRICULUM (KINDERGARTEN THROUGH
FIRST GRADE)
 The
curriculum is not limited to the basics. It includes all school-directed
activities (i.e. work assignments, field trips, etc.). Development
of the "whole" child is encouraged. Activities are
included that allow children to learn in their preferred learning

kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. New ways of
learning, including interaction and involvement of all the
senses, are explored through a balance of self-directed and
teacher-directed activities.
