More about our curriculum

OUR CURRICULUM

Language Arts and Social Studies
Language arts and social studies are integrated throughout the curriculum. Communication skills are developed through writing, reading, speaking, listening, spelling, and vocabulary. Social studies are approached from historical, geographic, civic, and economic perspectives. Working from the concrete to the abstract, students explore, describe, compare, and explain humans and their environments. Themes include interdependence, rights and responsibilities, and connections with the past. Classroom activities include research, discussion, and projects. Creative expression is encouraged through storytelling, role-playing, drawing, singing, and performing. Numerous resources include our extensive library, field trips, textbooks, course packs, magazines, primary sources, the Internet, guest speakers, plays, and films.
