For students in 2nd and 3rd grade, in Fall 2023 we are offering a focused Upper Elementary School ‘Block’ on Tuesdays (9AM-2PM) and a W/Th Group Block (11AM-4PM) for hands-on projects, curriculum investigation, collaboration, and socialization.
[For lower elementary options, Kinder-1st, click here.]
Our Focus:
- We prioritize higher-level, meaningful learning by encouraging our students to ask questions, engage with the material individually, form their own opinions, and approach problems in innovative ways.
- We believe that curiosity is a guiding force and use this philosophy—alongside a blend of programs, activities, and learning games—to guide our approach to curriculum and concepts.
- We strengthen socialization, collaboration, and investigation through hands-on projects, manipulatives arts, music, movement and indoor/outdoor play.
