Academics
As student needs change and passions grow, we want to be responsive to who they are and what they need. We will evolve and refine our practices to give students the most fruitful, educational experience possible.
Primary Band
For grades K-2nd grade
Primary grades hold a special place to me. Most of my experience is in teaching students how to read. With 7 years in first grade I've learned that this age group requires active engagement to support busy bodies and curiosity for learning through play, creativity, technology and guided reading. Our goal is to provide a classroom culture that is effective for learners to achieve independence.
Secondary Band
For 3rd-4th grade
Children at this stage are likely to be reading, but we know each child progresses differently. Before a student leaves through group, we would want to ensure they are reading with confidence. This group will continue to play, inquire and explore but through more structured activities. They will learn to work cooperatively and collaboratively with others towards a common goal. They will will also have unstructured inquiry time to tap into areas of personal interest and enjoyment. Learning does not have to be serious. Let's learn, play and explore together.
Middle Level Band
For 5th-6th grade
Our preteens are striving for independence and seeking their identity. It can be a confusing time with the influx of hormones and emotions. However, these are our budding leaders. At this stage, they are the role models for our younger groups. Our middle group will start exploring post-secondary goals and dreams. During this time, our exploring and play time looks like what a traditional middle school would refer to as electives or enrichment. We want to add value to their day by allowing them to explore topics of interest. These electives are student-decided and driven. We want to personalize the courses and learning opportunities to suit their needs. Additionally, we start exploring the idea of credits towards graduation. If a student is ready, we can start high school level courses to work towards early graduation.
